Hey, you know what? Lao Tzu said a super cool sentence in the Tao Te Ching: "If the people are not afraid of might, they will be mighty." That sounds like the opening line of a superhero movie, doesn't it? It's just that the "mighty" here does not refer to a hero wearing a cape, but to the kind of awe-inspiring power.
First of all, we have to understand what it means to "the people are not afraid of power". To put it simply, when people are no longer afraid of people or things that threaten them, they begin to become free. This kind of freedom is not something that can be obtained casually, it requires courage and determination. Think about it, if you have to worry about this and fear that every day, can you still be happy? Therefore, in order to be truly free, you must first overcome your inner fear.
But wait, don't think that as long as the people are not afraid of threats, everything will be fine. For this freedom to become a reality, two conditions must be met: first, there must be a place to live, and second, there must be food. In other words, it is necessary to ensure that the basic needs of the people are met. Only then can they feel comfortable pursuing higher things, such as freedom, dignity, and self-realization.
So the question is: how can we make the people not afraid of power? The answer is simple: make them feel that their current life is good, and there is no need to be afraid of anything. This requires us to start from ourselves and establish correct values and attitudes towards life. Remember the saying: "The husband never gets tired, he never gets tired." Meaning that you will only be motivated to change your life when you are no longer bored with it. In other words, if you want others to be unafraid of threats, you must first be afraid of threats yourself.
Speaking of which, I have to mention those guys who are called "saints". They are charismatic and intelligent people! They know how to get along with others and how to lead society to progress. The most important thing is that they know how to maintain a peaceful mind. You see that they are always so calm and calm, they are simply our role models!
So what is the secret of the "saints"? In fact, there is nothing mysterious, that is, "self-knowledge is not self-seeing, self-love is not self-esteem". In other words, to have self-knowledge and self-love. Know your strengths and weaknesses, know when to stick to your principles and when you can compromise, know how to care for yourself and others, ......Such a person will naturally be able to exude a unique charm and influence.
Finally, I would like to send you a word: "So go to the other and take this." This means: don't dwell on the choices you have made in the past! The most important thing is to grasp the present and look forward to the future! So, let go of the things that bother you! Pursue your own freedom, dignity and happiness! Remember: only if you really dare to face life's challenges; Only when you truly know how to value what you have; Only when you truly learn to respect others and yourself - then your share of "might" will come quietly!
