A light promise will lead to a low faith, and what is easy will be difficult.
Interpretation
This sentence was said by Lao Tzu, which can be said to be very philosophical. The former sentence "A light promise will inevitably lead to a lack of trust" is easier to understand. It means that a promise made easily will inevitably lack credibility. The latter sentence "What is easy will be difficult" is a bit difficult to understand literally. Combined with the context of Lao Tzu at that time, we know that this In other words, if you think or describe something as easy, it will be more troublesome to actually do it. The first half of the sentence educates us not to make promises easily. As long as we make a promise, we must fulfill it seriously and not lose faith. The second half of the sentence educates us not to underestimate the things we encounter or our opponents, otherwise we will definitely do this. The process failed because it lacked the staying power and necessary preparation.
