Compassion is necessarily brave, and bravery is not necessarily compassion

Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching says, "Ci Gu can be courageous"! That is to say, the compassionate man must have courage. Why is it said, "Compassion is necessarily courageous; bravery is not necessarily compassion!" "What? If we understand it, the Japanese army during World War II and the volunteer army of the "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" will understand.

At that time, the Japanese army was also very brave, but their bravery was not at all benevolent, completely out of animal nature! In China, there is no evil to kill and loot. Committed a heinous crime! They are "courageous with fear and selfishness."

And the volunteer army is to defend the country and resist the invaders! Fighting for the long-term peace of mankind, the opponent Lao Bai was very kind and kind to the captives. The volunteer army is "the bravery of sacrificing one's life for righteousness and not fearing life and death."

Therefore, the American soldiers who had fought with the volunteers at that time recalled: "The Chinese volunteers, dressed in worn-out clothes, had no fear, braved the flames of war, armed with submachine guns, and carried explosives packages, and rushed toward us."

"Once I shot at a Chinese soldier and when I fired the first shot, he insisted on standing up, and when I fired the second shot, he fell down, but he still insisted on standing up. I don't know what beliefs are holding him up. ”

"There are even Chinese soldiers with serious wounds, but they still jump three feet high and insist on attacking us." Until death. ”

"Even sometimes when you're concentrating on fighting, a bullet suddenly comes at you from a certain direction. At that time, we used all our belongings to attack them, but they always inadvertently attacked you behind you, in front of you, around you. At that time, no matter how well-equipped you are, you can't stand their persistence. The moment I saw them persevere, I knew we were going to lose the battle. ”
