Cheap to take more, disaster follows you (depth of good article)

Taoist nature

Gu Xunyun: "Don't be greedy for small profits, don't be vain." ”

The false name is like a bubble, and the finger can be broken; the small profit is like incense bait, waiting for people to be hooked.

If the wise are foolish, they like to let profit and others suffer losses themselves; if the foolish are wise, they take advantage of it, but they are still complacent.

As everyone knows, taking advantage of others is just the sweetness at the moment, and the only thing that follows behind is the disaster. 【WeChat public account: Classic Wisdom Quotations of Traditional Chinese Studies】

Taking advantage of the cheap is a disaster

The Northern Qi Daoist scholar Liu Tian said: "If you covet small profits, you will die." ”

If you are entangled in the small profits of the fly, you will lose greater benefits.

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no white advantage.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Yu and the state of guó bordered, and the State of Jin had to pass through the state of Yu to attack the state of Yu.

The State of Yu and the State of Yu allied themselves against the State of Jin.

Jin Guo said to Yu Guo, "I will send you gold and two pearls and jade and ten hu, please lend me a road, and in the future we will divide the country equally." ”

Yu Guo was overjoyed to receive the gift and agreed to Jin Guo's request.

As a result, the Jin State not only defeated the State of Yu, but also destroyed the State of Yu on the way to the Class Division.

Both sides of the Yu kingdom profited and took advantage of everything, but unfortunately, the gold and jade had not yet been warmed up, and the country was destroyed, and the people and wealth were empty.

To take advantage of one's friends is to cut off one's own arm; to take advantage of one's enemy is to tie oneself in a cocoon.

The ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect, Lü Dongbin, said: "When calculating for all things, we should guard against the greed of small profits." If you don't have it, you will be full of rest. ”

Wise people think deeply, and greedy people only look at the present.

As the saying goes, take advantage of the small and suffer big losses. Don't lose watermelon for sesame seeds.

Blindly greedy and cheap, not distinguishing between right and wrong, doomed to a hundred times and a thousand times the disaster waiting for you.

Smart people are willing to suffer losses

The Tao Te Ching says, "After the saints, they come before their bodies, and they exist outside their bodies, and because they are selfless, they can become selfish." ”

Shrewd people, who plan for themselves everywhere, do not eat any losses, such people rarely achieve great achievements.

People who are dedicated to the public and selfless dedication often receive more help and can always realize their ideals and ambitions.

"Selflessness" is a kind of character that precedes others before oneself, and "becoming selfish" is the realm of becoming oneself.

As the world knows, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya are a pair of best friends.

But I don't know that without Bao Shuya's humble retreat, there would be no development of Guan Zhong, let alone the hegemony of the State of Qi.

In the first half of his life, Guan Zhong was greedy for money, was dismissed as an official, served as a deserter, and chose the wrong camp.

But when king Qi decided to reuse Bao Shuya,

Bao Shuya abdicated and gave way to Xian, saying to the king, "The pillar of the kingdom is not me, but Guan Zhong." ”

Sure enough, Bao Shuya gave up his lofty authority and achieved guan Zhong's good name, and even more achieved the great cause of the state of Qi.

The "Chronicle of History" records: "The world does not care much about Zhongzhixian, and Uncle Duobao can know people." ”

This means that the Qi state has covered the world, and people do not praise Guan Zhongxianming, but praise Bao Shuya for knowing people's good duties and sacrificing themselves to become benevolent.

The Tao Te Ching: "The Tao Te Ching has no relatives and is always with good people." ”

The way of heaven is just and selfless, and the good is blessed and the wicked are evil.

It doesn't matter if you eat a little loss, people owe you, and heaven will pay you back.

The Tao Te Ching says, "Where blessings and misfortunes depend, misfortunes and blessings lie down." ”

Taking advantage of the superficial scenery is actually hidden and dangerous; suffering losses and superficial grievances actually accumulates yin morality.

He who would rather bear me in the world is a humble gentleman; he who would rather bear the burden of the people of the world is a despicable villain.

In life, it is a blessed person who is not ashamed of the heavens, who does not bow down to others, and who knows how not to live up to or owe.
