When things are prosperous, they decline, and things will be reversed

When I read the ninth chapter of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, I fell asleep in a daze. It was as if a man was sitting next to me, quietly telling me that it was better to hold on to it than to be profitable, and it was not as good as oneself, and it was impossible to be sharp for a long time. You're holding a full glass of water, how can you not spill it? When the water is full, it will overflow, and the things will be reversed, so it is better to pour out a little, and it can be stopped for a long time.

You speak so sharply, like a sharp knife, that you will hurt others and hurt yourself. Too sharp is easy to break, to sharp and easy to break, rather than being sharp and broken, it is better to put on the sheath of the knife, hide your sharp edge, and stop at the right time, so that you can save yourself for a long time.

I tell you, "Heaven is full, and humanity is full." A person wants to live a peaceful and auspicious life, the most taboo is to seek perfection and satisfaction, but many people have done the opposite, and they do not understand this truth for a lifetime, and people cannot seek perfection and satisfaction, but demand lack.

If you want to pursue perfection, you must be counterproductive, lacking more. I don't believe you can see, many people want to get rich all their lives, want to be accompanied by beautiful people, and want their children and grandchildren to prosper, and they also want to live a long life. If they do not realize the seriousness of the problem, they are not far from the rout, and if they are jealous of fullness, the full moon will lose. When the water is full, it overflows, when things are prosperous, it will decline, and things will be reversed.

Can the moon always be round? Can the fairy blossoms bloom all the time? Can people always be young? Your family is full of gold and jade, can you keep it for a lifetime? When the water is full, it will overflow, and when it is full, it will be delicate, rich and proud, and it will blame itself. People are rich and arrogant, isn't it their own misfortune to find their own misfortune? Therefore, the riches cannot be enjoyed, and three points are left to the children and grandchildren. Do not exhaust the wealth, give up three points to others, do not be greedy, give three points to others. If you are blessed with a good life, you will give three points to the poor, so it is the way to retire after achieving success.

Lao Tzu told us that after the full moon is the lack of the moon, after success is the failure, climb to the top, and then go further is the cliff, rather than going all the way to the top of the cliff, it is better to stop at the right time, and retreat safely. Between heaven and earth, the sun, moon, stars, yin and sun, all of them follow the natural path of yin and yang balance. Born as a human being, I really can not know it, remember ~ life changes like water, things are prosperous and decaying, and things will be reversed. Download and collect this article, turn it out when you are proud and complacent, and check yourself.

Finally, I will send you a poem "Self-Encouragement"

Since ancient times, life is the most taboo,

Half poor, half rich and half self-assured.

Half life, half a day, half a chance,

Half-taking, half-giving, half-doing,

Half deaf, half dumb, half confused,

Half wise, half foolish, half sage,

Half-human, half-me, half-comfortable,

Half awake, half drunk, half immortal.

Half of life is in yourself,

The other half listens naturally.
