Therefore, Tao has the nature of existence and non-existence , but the sun, moon and stars are not in Tao. They are regarded as preachers, forever and ever, without end.
Whether it is the sun, the earth, the moon, or other stars, compared to humans, they are so big that we cannot imagine them, and they are simply incomparable.
Although current technology can measure the length and width of these behemoths, it is just a data, because we simply cannot contain it in our hearts and cannot understand it.
What people can do may be great to humans, but to the sun, moon and stars, it is nothing.
Therefore, the way of humanity is nothing to the way of heaven. It is just the coming and going of human Qi. Those who gain Qi will live, and those who lose Qi will die.
Although humans are nothing to heaven and earth, the origin of wisdom is passed down by humans. That is why there is a saying: Heaven is big, earth is big, humans are also big, and humans live behind heaven and earth.
Therefore, world culture should be people-oriented.
Human beings are one species among many living things on the earth. Like all living things on the earth, they are illuminated by the sun and moistened by rain and dew.
What people face naturally in the world is cold and heat, that is, cold and heat. Thermal expansion and contraction are the natural laws that our modern technology can master. Human beings are tangible, they are material structures, and they also have the nature of expansion with heat and contraction with cold.
Natural cold and heat are generated by cold and heat. When the cold reaches the extreme, the heat will rise. When the heat reaches the extreme, the cold will fall. The rise and fall of cold and heat is the way of heaven and earth. All things and people are born and exist according to the way.
Tao transforms all things, and everything has its own Tao, which cannot be fully explained. There is no end to the world, and there is no end to humanity either. There is only "knowing where to stop".
Humanity, if we start from birth, the next step is to grow, grow strong, strong and full, full and disappear, disappear and grow old, old and die, this is the only way for a person.
People die as they grow old, but they do not die in an absolute sense! First of all, his essence and blood are still left in the world, and his descendants are still multiplying.
Secondly, the Qi of people's death is there, and people live in one breath. People are born because of the gathering of Qi. People die when the Qi disperses. When they gather, they can disperse. When they disperse, they can gather again. There is only a time to gather and disperse.
Therefore, death does not mean that people cease to exist in the absolute sense, but return to nothingness. People come from nothingness and must return to nothingness. This can be called returning to the origin, ending and beginning, or cause and effect.
Therefore, in a broad sense, humanity is the same as heaven and earth, and the same as all things.
is just because it is vast and boundless. Especially for our Chinese national culture, our own culture is extensive and profound, and thousands of ways are all Tao and principles. Therefore, the further we go, the harder it is for people to figure out which principle and method is more feasible.
The Tao Te Ching says: The reason why people are difficult to treat is because they are wise. This is because any culture will have shortcomings and cannot be complete. The world is not complete, let alone one culture.
If humanity is complicated, criss-crossed, and there are countless longitudes and latitudes, people will live very tired!
We are first of all based on the people-oriented idea, starting from the simplest and most basic concepts of people, grasping the foundation of humanities, and practicing humanity.
The most basic right of human beings is: to live!
Everything is done on the basis of ensuring survival.
Human beings are protected by the collective, society and the state. A legal citizen does not have to worry about losing the right to live. This is not the case with other creatures. They are threatened by humans and other creatures. They have no effective defense measures and cannot guarantee the integrity of their lives.
Therefore, please don’t simply think that living is a matter of course. If it weren’t for us being human beings, it would be difficult for us to ensure the integrity of life.
People's right to live is not something we have today. This is the inheritance of our Chinese nation since ancient times. The society and the state can basically guarantee that everyone can live a normal life.
But like some Western countries, they are light on inheritance, heavy on killing, and are inhumane. They are more likely to be in dire straits. This is the so-called truth that the higher you fly, the more painful you fall. It is inevitable to indulge in lust without following the Tao.
Therefore, we should first be grateful that we are born as human beings and that we are born in a country with ancient heritage.
