Translation: The highest goodness is like water. Water is the source of all things, but it is beneficial to raise all things without competition in the world, and always maintains a normal mentality. It is located in a humble place that people don't like, so it is close to the Tao.
Perception: I use water to compare people with noble character, and think that their character is like water. First, they are soft, second, they stay in humble places, and third, they nourish everything without fighting with others. The softness of a person is all in one thought, and the combination of rigidity and softness in life can show the true character of a hero. There is not only one way to win in life. Having the capital of "the strong" and keeping the posture of "the weak" is the wisdom of life accumulated over the years.
2. Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil has been done. It is well known that good is good, but not good. -Laozi's Tao Te Ching Chapter II
Translation: Everyone knows that beauty is beautiful because of ugliness. Everyone knows that good is good because there is evil.
sentiment: things in the world are always divided into two opposite aspects: truth, goodness, beauty and falsehood, evil and ugliness. Since ancient times, it has been said that good is rewarded with good and evil with evil. Everyone has different views and sees different things. Everyone has different realms. There are two sides to everything. Some people do good deeds, and some people do not necessarily get good results. Just as the founder of Dharma said, doing good can't always be hung on the psychological side. How many good deeds you have done and how great they are, such good deeds are hypocritical and have no merit, and everything follows fate.
3, the folded wood, born in the end; Nine-story platform, starting from tired soil; The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. -Laozi's Tao Te Ching Chapter 64
Translation: The thick wood that is folded is as thin as a needle; The nine-story platform is made of a basket of soil and a basket of soil; The journey of thousands of miles is taken step by step.
sentiment: walking a thousand miles begins with taking the first step. Doing things should also be done from scratch and step by step. No matter how difficult it is, as long as you keep on acting, you will surely achieve something. Everything starts with a slight change, and quantitative change can cause qualitative change.
4. If you are humiliated, you will suffer greatly. -Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" Chapter 13
Translation: "Pet" came and I was very happy; When the "pet" is gone, it is very lost; When "humiliation" comes, it is very sad; When "shame" left, it was a great relief. A heart floats around with the reputation of the outside world, and there can no longer be a moment of peace and purity. Mood, grief and uncertainty, just like a serious illness.
sentiment: why? It is because we take ourselves too seriously and pay too much attention to our success or failure. Our hearts are full of many things that we think we should care about very much: money, reputation, status, affection, friendship, love and so on. The more we cling to these external things, the less free our hearts will be. As a matter of fact, these things are based on the level of "being", and in the end, they are all "illusory", "electro-optical Shi Huo" and "dreamy bubbles", which are not worthy of our excessive attention.
