DDJ 21+22. 不自见故明, 不自恨故爱

第二十一章 [原文]孔①德②之容③,惟道是从。道之为物,惟恍惟惚④。惚兮恍兮,其中有象⑤;恍兮惚兮,其中有物;窈兮冥兮⑥,其中有精⑦,其精甚真⑧,其中有信⑨,自今及古⑩,其名不去,以阅众甫⑾。吾何以知众甫之状哉以此⑿。

 [译文]大德的形态,是由道所决定的。“道”这个东西,没有清楚的固定实体。它是那样的恍恍惚惚啊,其中却有形象。它是那样的恍恍惚惚啊,其中却有实物。它是那样的深远暗昧啊,其中却有精质;这精质是最真实的,这精质是可以信验的。从当今上溯到古代,它的名字永远不能废除,依据它,才能观察万物的初始。我怎么才能知道万事万物开始的情况呢?是从“道”认识的。http://www.daodejing.org/21.html

第二十二章 [原文]曲则全,枉①则直,洼则盈,敝②则新,少则得,多则惑。是以圣人抱一③为天下式④。不自见⑤,故明⑥;不自是,故彰,不自伐⑦,故有功;不自矜,故长。夫唯不争,故天下莫能与之争。古之所谓"曲则全"者,岂虚言哉?诚全而归之。 [译文]委曲便会保全,屈枉便会直伸;低洼便会充盈,陈旧便会更新;少取便会获得,贪多便会迷惑。所以有道的人坚守这一原则作为天下事理的范式,不自我表扬,反能显明;不自以为是,反能是非彰明;不自己夸耀,反能得有功劳;不自我矜持,所以才能长久。正因为不与人争,所以遍天下没有人能与他争。古时所谓“委曲便会保全”的话,怎么会是空话呢?它实实在在能够达到。http://www.daodejing.org/22.html

抱朴守一。  “不自见⑤,故明⑥;不自是,故彰,不自伐⑦,故有功;不自矜,故长。夫唯不争,故天下莫能与之争。”  不自恨,故爱。

美国人1778年显然比不上英国的人文历史国力。但是美国人清教徒一下船,10年建Harvard, 150年建国。为什么?不自恨,不自见,不自是,不自伐,不自矜。  别人再好, 最终要当自己。  抱朴守一。 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_Roman_Empire
不光是清教徒,其他犹太人,Quaker, 天主教,摩门教。  个个都知道自恨是死路,想要谈爱,先杜绝自恨。

Quote: Mingjian, a gregarious business major from China’s coastal Shandong province, refuses to stay inside the Chinese bubble. “I didn’t want to waste any time,” he says, “so I threw myself into every activity I could.” The son of two Communist Party members, he wanted to understand Christianity, so he attended Bridges International meetings on campus and twice travelled to the group’s national conference, where the hundreds of Chinese had a side conference completely in Mandarin. He became an admissions tour guide and a residential adviser in his dorm – “just one Chinese guy handling 38 Americans,” he says. But his proudest achievement is twice winning election to the university’s student senate. “I wanted to see how the democratic system worked,” he says.  https://www.1843magazine.com/features/alienation-101
