The good ones do not argue, the argument is not good

I have met some people who are eloquent and wise in the past. At that time, I thought that it was their talent and did not seriously consider the relationship between eloquence and good and evil.

Later, I met some practitioners who endured humiliation and were taciturn and did not argue, and I felt that their spiritual realms were very different.

Until one day, I saw me《Tao Te ChingThe final words in the book:“The way of the saint is to do it without fighting for it”，I suddenly realized.Yes, clever words and despises are not real talents, and tolerating humiliation and not being evident are the highest state of cultivation in life.

“The good ones do not argue, and the arguments do not make good" comes from《Tao Te Ching Chapter 81，The original text is“Believe in words is not beautiful, and believe in words is not beautiful.The good ones do not argue, and the arguments do not.Those who know are not broad-minded, and those who are broad-minded do not.”

It means: honest words are not necessarily beautiful, and beautiful words are not necessarily honest.Good people in the world do not speak sweet words, and eloquent people are not necessarily good people.Smart people are not necessarily knowledgeable, and knowledgeable people are not necessarily truly smart.The practice of life is about practice, not debate.

There is no need to argue with the truth every day.Even if you argue endlessly all day, you may not be able to argue the truth.Only by truly practicing all truths and righteous paths can we truly understand them.

Confucius is《The Analects of Confucius·Li Ren　The Chinese says: "A gentleman wants to be slow in his words and quick in his actions."exist《The Analects of Confucius·Learn　It also says:“A gentleman does not seek full food, does not seek peace in life, is quick to do things and cautious in words."。From this point of view, we should say less and do more in life, which is exactly the same as Confucius and Lao Tzu's proposition.

Therefore, whether it is life practice or general social activities, you should be down-to-earth in everything you do, and you should not just say beautiful words without practical actions.

If you think about it carefully, a kind and capable person does not need to debate anything with others, and will not just use words to prove that he is right. Even in the face of slander or personal attacks, he can use actions to prove his innocence and innocence.

People who endure humiliation and do not argue often focus on doing things, and they must have a heart that is indifferent to the world.On the contrary, those who debate with others every day are not truly capable people. Although they demonstrate their abilities everywhere when debating with others, truly kind people do not need to use sweet words to win others' praise, and actions that are empty talk without actual actions will achieve nothing.

To cultivate moral character, you must first stay away from talking nonsense and not comment on others;Treat others sincerely and be kind to others,To endure humiliation and not argue when encountering hardships is what a gentleman does.
