Leave a bite of rice for others
Recently, I read one of the classics in Caigen Tan: "Heaven avoids profit, but divination is useless", and I have endless aftertaste and am filled with emotion.

"Leave a bite of rice" to people is a kind of character and a realm. Think that everyone needs a bowl of rice and everyone needs to live.

I remember that when I was young, the production team "grabbed food from Longkou" during the summer harvest. Men, women and children went into battle together, and everyone had a task. The adults are harvesting in front, and the children are picking ears of wheat in the back. No matter whose children are behind the adults, we should intentionally or unintentionally leave some ears of wheat for the children to pick up, so that the children can successfully complete the task. After the children pick it up, they should leave some grains of wheat for the birds to eat. This is what the old people call "life-saving". Everyone in the life chain has to live, right?

Once upon a time, all walks of life had an unwritten "guild regulations": pay attention to "leaving a bite of rice for others to eat."

Nowadays, this virtue is rare. For example, some merchants say that in the future, physical stores will be closed, banks will be closed and many industries will disappear.

God educates people and pays attention to harmonious symbiosis. If I keep killing this and that, I'm the only one who dominates the Jianghu. What's the poison? I wonder if the world is just your own world and the rivers and lakes are just your own rivers and lakes. Will there be you?

It is said that painters in the Qing Dynasty once opened a painting academy in Suzhou, and there is also a Lv painting academy in Suzhou that is good at painting plum blossoms. Zheng Banqiao never painted plum blossoms to save other people's lives. Even when business comes to the door, he always smiles modestly: "The plum blossom I painted is far from perfect. I'd better find Mr. Lu to draw! " . When he left, he drew a plum blossom specially for Mr. Lu. Lv Cai suddenly realized and said gratefully, "Brother Zheng didn't paint plum blossoms in order to leave a meal for his brother."

I'm full, and I can't help thinking that there are still people starving. "Always be kind to others. When you are strong, don't always think about "dominating the Jianghu". Leave some space for others. Paying more attention to the disadvantaged groups, whether materially or spiritually, always reminding yourself to "save a bite for others to eat" is good for both people and themselves.
