In the hustle and bustle of the times, we are often surrounded by a variety of voices, many of whom are eloquent.
However, the Tao Te Ching profoundly reveals a truth: "The good do not argue, and the debater is not good." ”
This sentence is like a beacon that guides us to find true wisdom and goodness in a complex world.
Those who are good at arguing may not be good
"A three-inch tongue is stronger than a million-strong division."
This sentence speaks to the power of a clever man.
However, many examples in history show us that those who are good at arguments are not necessarily truly good.
When Confucius was ruling the state of Lu, he executed a man named Shao Zhengmao for "clever words and immorality".
Although Shao Zhengmao was able to speak well, he used false reasoning and heresies to deceive people's minds, causing the country of Lu to fall apart.
It follows that a person who is eloquent may not be able to bring real good results, but may harm others because of the benefits of his words.
As said in "Journey to the West": "The mouth is open, the spirit is scattered, and the tongue is not born." ”
Too much rhetoric can easily lead to disputes and misunderstandings.
People with clever tongues are often good at whitewashing right and wrong with words, and such actions not only do not bring true wisdom, but can lead people to deeper confusion.
Therefore, we should be wary of those who are eloquent and sophistry, and not be deceived by their appearances.
Those who do not argue have their own goodness
Contrary to the good debaters, the Tao Te Ching puts forward the idea of "great debate".
This means that truly wise people tend not to argue and justify too much.
They are well aware of the truth that "innocence does not need to be proven, and kindness knows by God", so they can maintain inner peace and firmness.
The Zhibu of the Western Han Dynasty is such a model. He was low-key, humble, and never justified himself.
Once, he was mistaken for stealing someone else's gold, but instead of defending himself, he silently paid for it.
Later, when the truth was revealed, he did not blame others for this, but chose to forgive and forgive.
This indefensible attitude shows the kindness and broad-mindedness of his heart.
As it is said in the Tao Te Ching: "The saint does nothing and does not teach." ”
True masters are often able to lead by example and influence others with their actions, rather than arguing and justifying through words.
They are well aware of the truth of "being upright in the body", so they are able to maintain their inner integrity and firmness, and not be shaken by the outside world.
Dialectical reflection on good argument and good deeds
When discussing the relationship between good argument and good deeds, it is not difficult to find that there is a subtle dialectical relationship between the two.
Although good debaters are able to influence others with their words, their words often lack true wisdom and kindness.
Meanwhile, do-gooders practice their beliefs and ideas through practical actions, and use their actions to influence and infect others.
However, in real life, we tend to fall into the trap of good argumentation, over-pursuing the floweriness and ingenuity of words, and ignoring the importance of actual action.
This pursuit of superficiality, instead of bringing true wisdom and goodness, may lead us deeper into confusion.
Therefore, we should learn to look dialectically at the relationship between good argument and good deeds.
When communicating with people, we should pay attention to the sincerity and kindness of our words, and avoid using overly flowery and clever words to hide our true intentions.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the importance of practical actions, practice our beliefs and ideas through practical actions, and use actions to influence and infect others.
In the Tao Te Ching, "the good do not argue, and the debater is not good" reveals the true meaning of good debate and good deeds for us.
In real life, we should pay attention to the importance of practical actions and practice our beliefs and ideas through practical actions.
At the same time, we should also be wary of those who are good at words and clever words, and not be deceived by their appearances.
In order to achieve this goal, we can start from the following aspects:
The first is to pay attention to self-cultivation and quality improvement, and cultivate inner kindness and broad-mindedness;
The second is to pay attention to the importance of practical actions, and to influence and infect others through practical actions;
the third is to maintain a humble and low-key attitude, and not to publicize their talents and achievements;
Fourth, learn to look at the relationship between good argumentation and good deeds dialectically, and avoid falling into the trap of good argumentation.
Finally, let us remember the wisdom proverb in the Tao Te Ching: "The good do not argue, and the debater is not good." ”
On the path of life, let us pursue true wisdom and kindness together with good deeds, sincerity, humility, and action!
