(Chapter XXIX).These two chapters of golden sentences:I will want to take the world and do it, I see that it has no choice. The world's artifact cannot be done. Those who do it lose, and those who hold it lose. Therefore things or 行 or follows, or 歔 (xū) or blowing, or strong or 羸 (léi), or frustration or 隳 (huī). It is to go to the saints, to luxury, to Thailand.
Chapter 30) Those who are masters of the Dao Zuo people, do not strengthen the world with soldiers, and their affairs are good. Where the division is, thorns are born. After the great army, there will be a fierce year. Good is only fruitful, and I dare not take advantage of it. Don't be cautious, don't cut down, don't be arrogant, don't be strong. If things are strong, they are old, and they are not Tao, and they are not Tao.
It is to go to the saints, to luxury, to Thailand.
Where the division is, thorns are born. After the great army, there will be a fierce year.
If things are strong, they are old, and they are not Tao, and they are not Tao.
That is, leaders should get rid of excesses, get rid of extravagance, get rid of arrogance.
You should not be arrogant, not boastful, not proud, and understand that war is only a last resort, and not bully the weak.
Because a thing is strong and old, and if a thing is too strong, it means that it is going to decline, just as something too sharp is easy to break.
Where the division is, thorns are born. After the great army, there will be a fierce year. "It is Lao Tzu's view on war, and it is also our country's long-term attitude towards war, war is just a last resort, we are not warlike, but for peace, we will not be afraid of war.
We should have all seen the pencil sharpened too sharply and the pen broke at the first moment.
How can it not be easy to break and write for a longer time?
Don't sharpen it too much, just be enough.
However, it is easier to grasp the extent to which the pencil should be sharpened, after all, even if it is not sharpened well, the cost of re-sharpening it is not very much.
Other things in life are not necessarily the same, and in some cases, once they go wrong, there is no chance to start over.
Therefore, we must learn to have the consciousness that things are strong and old, so that even if we still make mistakes, we can still detect and correct them in time when we have not made big mistakes.
If things are strong, they will be old, and not let themselves be too "strong" is to be more "strong", and "strong" for a longer time.
To grasp the sense of not being too "strong" is to be self-reliant, to be virtuous, and first of all, to be self-reliant, and then to be virtuous.
Only talking about virtue and virtue, not talking about self-improvement, is a hooligan.
Because, creating beauty is the greatest virtue, a lazy person who only knows how to take, where does virtue come from?
To create beauty, of course, is not only monetary, material, but also spiritual, such as giving others a kind smile and writing a positive article, such as this one I wrote.
When I think of this, I suddenly feel that what I am doing is something that is particularly meaningful, so keep up the good work!
