The meaning of the sentence "What is right is strange, what is good is monster" means: precisely because nothing is static, wise saints deal with the world flexibly, follow the system but pay attention to people-oriented, and will not copy things mechanically. Although it has edges and corners, it does not hurt, it is upright but not reckless, and it is bright but not dazzling. She has strength but does not show it deliberately, and always maintains her natural character.

“What is right becomes strange again, and what is good becomes demon again” comes from the Tao Te Ching.

Interpretation: People’s experiences and feelings are changing, and nothing remains static. If you are happy, you will not be happy forever, and if you feel miserable, you will not be miserable forever. Things are impermanent, happiness may be the beginning of pain, and pain may also be the origin of happiness.

Misfortune, good fortune, and good evil can be summed up in two words - misfortunes and blessings. The root cause of the transformation of misfortune and fortune is people's thoughts. If the thought at the time of the incident is good, the disaster will turn into blessing; if the thought at the time of the incident is evil, the blessing will turn into disaster. Unfortunately, many people nowadays have endless thoughts and desires every day, so the transformation of misfortunes and blessings is also endless.

Human beings can control the misfortunes and blessings in their lifeline, turn misfortunes into blessings, and then act according to the Tao and be at ease with the situation! Good and evil go hand in hand, good and bad come together. A bad situation will definitely turn around, but it requires an opportunity to calm down.
