Lao Tzu, the ancient wise man, left many thought-provoking teachings in the Tao Te Ching. Among them, the idea that "nothing is born together, and all things work together" is like a beacon that illuminates my understanding of the relationship between all things. It not only reveals the interplay between all things, but also goes deeper into the philosophical level of balance.
Ten years of experience in the physical store of ornamental fish made me suddenly realize the relationship between heaven, humanity and all things. For example, in the fish tank, colorful fish swim in the water, and it is the delicate balance between various biological and environmental factors that maintains the harmony of all this. The respiration of fish, the circulation of the food chain, and the stability of water quality are all indispensable. Once this balance is broken, even a small change may lead to the collapse of the ecosystem, the fish cannot survive, the Tao causes the fish to not survive in this environment, and the same is true for all things in the universe, the Tao Te Ching talks about balancing this relationship, such as: yin and yang, existence and non-existence, good and evil, existence and non-existence, and so on.
Ten years of fish farming has allowed me to come into contact with different groups of customers and understand that the natural world, including all things in the universe, is a huge ecosystem, and all things in it follow the law of "nothing is born together, and all things work together". There is no absolute nothingness, and there is no eternal tangibility. All things are interdependent, cause and effect of each other, and achieve each other. Just as Lao Tzu said: "There is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually beneficial, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back follow each other." "It's not difficult, how easy is it? If it's not short, how can it be long? This interdependent and mutually transformative relationship is the way of balance in the natural world.
Tao Te Ching: Human law, earth law and heaven, heaven law and Tao, Tao law and nature, everything is cultivated in different ways, enlightenment and balance of the Tao.
Human society is also inseparable from this balance. Our relationship with nature, with others, and with ourselves all need to maintain a balance. Excessive demanding, sabotage, or bigotry can lead to the breakdown of relationships and social upheaval. True wisdom is to understand and follow this balance.
Lao Tzu's words are like a mirror, allowing me to see my relationship with all things and the world. I have learned that true growth and progress is not about blindly pursuing more material things and achievements, but about learning to find balance in various relationships and achieve harmonious coexistence.
Balance is not only the law of nature, but also the wisdom of life.
When we learn to find balance in our busy lives, we are better able to appreciate the beauty of the world. When we learn to find balance in complex relationships, we are better able to understand the needs of others. When we learn to find balance in our inner world, we are better able to deal with our joys and sorrows. Therefore, no matter what environment and work we are in, we should first find a balance with our inner cultivation, let ourselves first settle, then contemplate, and then stillness, and wait for the reasons for the changes.
2024 will be an extraordinary year, but also a year of change, the Internet, e-commerce, live broadcast, entity, Internet celebrities are all looking for their own balance, I hope we can all deeply understand and practice the principle of "nothing is born together, all things work together", hold the law of heaven, Tao, and man, and let yourself understand the way of life.
Because only when we all grasp the essence of Chinese culture and misappropriate it for ourselves, can we run smoothly on our own path, respect and cherish the relationship between all things, and truly create a world for ourselves.
I am a fish in the world for ten years, from the "Tao Te Ching" and "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Jing" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" inspired too much wisdom of life, read fine Chinese culture to let everyone open the wisdom of the heavenly eye.
