Lao Tzu said that "vain is straight", "vain" is not straight, from not straight to straight, what has passed in the middle?
Today I read Chapter 22 of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.
Lao Tzu said: The song is complete, and the vain is straight; If it is low, it will be profitable, and if it is new; Less is gained, more is confused. ”
In this sentence, "vain is straight" is the most difficult to understand.
I can only interpret it as a curve to save the country.
Like climbing over a big mountain, a peak like the Himalayas.
Climbing straight to the top and then going down the mountain is not something that ordinary people can easily do.
There may be some people who have trained and prepared for a lifetime, and it is difficult to successfully reach the top once.
For us ordinary people, the goal is not to reach the top, but just to go to the other side of the mountain to see, so it is better to take a detour.
Take a detour, though tedious, but you may be able to reach it much faster than going straight to the top.
The rest of the sentences, "If you are low, you will be profitable, and if you are new; Less is gained, more is confused", relatively easy to understand.
For example, when the sea is low-lying, the water will always be full.
The situation is in tatters, and talent has a more urgent desire to renew it.
Small goals are easy to succeed.
Big desires make people confused.
Now I would like to talk about the understanding of "music is complete".
Qu" should be a fake word, the same as "Qu", which means that a person can be wronged in order to seek perfection.
Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet:
A cook and a waiter at a restaurant in Shanghai were killed, and the killer was the waitress's husband. The husband attempted suicide after the murder, but was unsuccessful and was finally taken away by **.
Although such news has been exposed recently, I am still shocked to see this news.
Is this husband so impulsive in order to preserve their love?
If so, how can it be preserved as a result of this impulse?
If not, then what's the reason to be so impulsive?
People tend to take themselves too seriously, especially their feelings, because the feelings of this moment are eternal.
But is there anything eternal in the world?
