"A good man is a bad teacher; Those who are not good at people, the capital of good people, have feelings when reading Laozi. "
"Kindness" is a teacher who is "unkind to others" and is easy to understand, accept and advocate. However, it is not easy to criticize "unkindness to others", and we should take it as a mirror to expose our own shortcomings, so as to correct and improve ourselves.
No wonder Confucius said Laozi was a dragon.
Confucius also said something similar in the Analects of Confucius, Liren:
"See Xian Si Qi Yan, see Xian Si Qi introspection."
Basically, "good people" can be regarded as teachers and role models, and they can "see strange ideas" and get some insights after reading "Random Thoughts on Reading Laozi". However, if we take "being unkind to others" as a mirror, "seeing the sage Si Qi" needs considerable courage, measurement, high accomplishment and spiritual realm.
It is difficult for us to "be kind to others" and "introspect without seeing good people" because we hate bad people and we dare not face up to our shortcomings.
Only in this way, if we really want to improve ourselves, we should face ourselves squarely, dissect ourselves, let the light of justice illuminate us, let the wisdom of sages wake us up, let the evil journey warn us, and let the power of morality restrain us. Sweep away any obstacles in your mind, erase all dirt in your mind, return to a pure and ethereal natural heart, and be an honest and frank natural person.
