"Good as water"-the original text of Laozi (also known as Tao Te Ching);

"Good if water. Water is good for all things, but does not dispute; Being hated by all people (us), so there are several ways. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at governance, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. Husband is not noisy, and there is nothing special. "

Laozi (Li Er) thinks that the best quality of being a man is water, which has the nature of nourishing all things and has no conflict with all things; Water has a broad mind and lives in a humble and dirty place that people hate. So the water quality is close to the Tao. Good down-to-earth, good at being humble, good at getting along with people, good at keeping promises, good at being honest in politics, good at doing things with strength, and good at acting in time. Just because there is no dispute, there will be no mistakes.

Of all the things in nature, Laozi admires water the most. He thinks that the virtue of water is similar to Tao. The ideal "sage" is the embodiment of Tao, because his words and deeds are like water.

Water is thin and soft, colorless and transparent. In a word, it is gentleness. Compared with direct light, water is more intimate than light. A person standing in the sun will form a shadow, while a person in the water is full of gentle care. Water is a necessity in people's daily life, especially in their spiritual life.

Laozi advocated "femininity", that is, taking pictures from the water. Water is negative and can gather great energy. The flood is also feminine, but it is also masculine.

When I said "being good as water", I warned honest people to learn the harmonious quality like water, and to be free from environmental or external damage. In the face of some things, honest people are easy to offend others because of their persistence, while accommodating people can better adapt to society and get support and recognition from others because they can see through each other's needs and adjust themselves in time.

In life, "being good as water" is not only a profound knowledge, but also a profound accomplishment. The pursuit of just right, enough is enough, is the way of harmony in life, a realm, and a philosophical concept.
