Specific explanation:
The word "goodness is like water" comes from the eighth chapter of Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "goodness is like water. Water is good for all things without arguing, and it is evil for everyone, so it is a few words. Live in a good place, be kind-hearted, be kind-hearted, be good at words, be good at good governance, be good at things, and be good at times. The husband is not arguing, so there is nothing special. "
Its literal meaning is: the highest goodness is like water. Water is good at helping all things without competing with them. It stays in a place that people don't like, so it is close to the Tao. People who are kind should live as humble as water, be deep as water, make friends as blind as water, be sincere as water, be organized as water for politicians, be omnipotent as water, and act as standby as water. It is precisely because he is as uncontroversial as water that he has no worries. Speaking of the ideological significance involved, it needs to be explained more.
Laozi said: "Being good is like water, and water is good for all things without contention. This is the virtue of modesty.": Therefore, Jiang Hai can be the king of the hundred valleys, and if he is good at it, he can be the king of the hundred valleys. The world is not weak in water, but the strong can't win, which is gentle virtue; Therefore, softness wins strength, and weakness wins strength. Because it has nothing, it can enter nothing, so it can be seen that the teaching without words and the benefits of inaction are also known. "
He thinks that people who do good should be like water. Water benefits and nourishes all things, but it does not compete with all things. This is the most modest virtue. Jianghai can become the destination of all rivers because he is good at being in the downstream position, so he becomes the king of 100 valleys.
The softest thing in the world is water, but it can penetrate the hardest thing, and nothing can surpass it, such as dripping water wears away a stone. This is where Roude lies. Therefore, the weak can overcome the strong, and the soft can overcome the strong.
Things that are invisible can enter things without gaps, from which we know the teaching of "silence" and the benefits of "inaction".
Laozi also said: "Because it is indisputable, the world can't compete with it. This is to follow the example of water morality. Water is more than Tao; The Tao is everywhere, and the water has no disadvantages. It avoids the high and goes down, and it has never been reversed, and it is also good. The empty place is quiet and unfathomable. Good is deep; Losses are inexhaustible, giving is unrequited, and kindness is benevolent ...
"Tao" is the general source of all things in the world, something that exists before concrete things, and also the basic law and origin of things. Therefore, "Tao" is something that each of us should recognize and understand. The virtue of water is the closest to Tao, and Tao is everywhere. Therefore, water has no disadvantages. It avoids the high and goes down, so it will not be hindered. It can flow anywhere, nourish all things and wash away the dirt. It is in a deep pool, with a clear and calm surface, but unfathomable. It flows continuously to benefit all things without asking for anything in return. Such virtue, and even benevolence to goodness ...
