"Misfortune depends on happiness, and happiness lies in misfortune." You are very happy together, and good luck and bad luck are in the same territory. "

People often say, "Happiness lies in misfortune, and misfortune depends on happiness."

Inaction is Lao Tzu's thought.

Inaction is to conform to nature and not be reckless, but not just to conform to the inaction of nature itself, but to do something.

Laozi's thought contains simple dialectical thought. In this sentence, Lao Zi expounded the dialectical relationship between "misfortune" and "happiness", which is an important philosophical thought in China people's ideological system. So-called "Be prepared for danger in times of peace", "Share weal and woe", "A blessing in disguise" and "Take good clothes and enough food" all contain this philosophy. Always remind us: don't get carried away when you are proud, and don't be decadent when you are frustrated.

In addition, there are many concrete examples of so-called disasters and blessings, and both blessings and disasters are obscure.

The old pioneer lost his horse-a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

There is a saying that "the old man knows how to lean on him" in Ban Gu's "Tongyou Fu" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which shows his meaning. There lived an old man near the frontier fortress. Old people are proficient in numerology and are good at predicting the past and the future. Once, an old man's horse broke free for no reason (probably the mare was in heat) and ran to the place where the Hu people lived. Neighbors came to comfort him, and he knew it well and said calmly, "Isn't this a blessing?" A few months later, the lost horse suddenly went home again, with a good horse of the conference semifinals. The neighbors all came to congratulate his family when they heard about it. The old man was indifferent and said calmly, "Isn't such a thing a disaster?" The old man's livestock has raised many good horses, and his son is martial and likes riding horses. One day, his son rode a fierce horse to practice riding and shooting in the wild. The fierce horse lost control, threw his son heavily on his back and broke his thigh, which became a lifelong disability. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences. The old man said calmly, "Isn't this a blessing?" Another year passed, and the conference semifinals invaded the border and entered the fortress. All the able-bodied men in the four townships and eight neighbors were drafted into the army and took up arms to participate in the war. There are countless casualties. Residents near the frontier fortress, with ten rooms and nine vacant rooms, were all killed in the war. Only the old man's son didn't go to war because of his lame disability. Therefore, the father and son can live and spend the rest of their lives together. Therefore, blessings can be turned into disasters, and disasters can also be turned into blessings. This change is unfathomable and no one can predict it.
