上善若水。水善利萬物而不爭,處眾人之所惡,故幾於道。居善地,心善淵,與善仁,言善信,政善治,事善能,動善時。夫唯不爭,故無尤。


一個良善之人,應當具備與水相似的品質:

他們無私奉獻,不求回報,猶如水澆灌萬物而不索報。

他們謙虛自下,如水靜止於低處。

心境平靜深邃,言行如水澄澈,無處不顯真誠,就像水清澈地反映萬物。

能隨遇而安,如水順應萬變之勢。他們能夠適應環境,像水一樣順應潮流。

行事靈活變通,如水自如應對各種情境。

一個有品德的人,如同水一樣,不與他人爭鬥,因此避免引起錯誤和怨恨。


A good person should have qualities similar to water:

They give without expecting anything in return, like how water nurtures everything without asking for reward.

They are humble, like water that stays in low places even if others don't prefer it.

They have a calm and deep mind, and they are honest in what they say and do, just like water that reflects things clearly.

They can adapt like water does, going with the flow of situations.

They are flexible in their actions, like water that adjusts to different circumstances.

A person of virtue, like water, does not contend with others, so they avoid causing mistakes and resentments.

    Hi 大家好,我是Ethan😊 相近大家都知道保濕是皮膚保養中最基本,也是最重要的一步。無論是在畫室裡長時間對著畫布,還是在旅途中面對各種氣候變化,保持皮膚的水分平衡對我來說至關重要。保濕化妝水不僅能迅速為皮膚補水,還能提升後續保養品的吸收效率。 曾經,我的保養程序簡單到只包括清潔和隨意上乳液

    「上善若水,水善利萬物而不爭,處眾人之所惡,故幾於道。」老子最推崇水的特質,認為它是最接近道的典範!來一趟親水之旅,擺脫城市酷熱的枷鎖,享受山上綠蔭的清風、水圳流水的冰涼,或許真能體悟書中上善若水的境界!
    心情筆記 ◎上善若水 結束五天的廣東參訪演講之旅,搭高鐵再回貴陽,又有許多新的計畫和變化。雖然無法如預期的進行原來的安排,但一切都是向著美好和希望前行。向善若水,順水而行,不必固守一方,總會海闊天空。
    「上善若水」這句話,恐怕有人誤解為「像水一樣善於流竄,避險免截」。這不是老子的原意,更談不上什麼智慧。 《道德經》第八章: 「上善若水。水善利萬物而不爭,處眾人之所惡,故幾於道…」 水,究竟有什麼特性呢? 「…居善地,心善淵,與善仁,言善信,正善治,事善能,動善時…」 (2021年7月7日共勉)

    人看水,水處於低下,而水本身卻無此心,只有順應,上天給它什麼任務它便執行,因為無心,所以海納,能納則廣,加上以柔為本、韌為質及衍生的特性,因此幾近於「道」。

    現在明白,所謂的圓融,其實必然經歷那個暴走期,那是自我成長的過程,我們必須把自己長出來,願意為自己憤怒和哭泣,那段時間必然會與世界產生很大的衝突,你厭世、你憤世忌俗,都無所謂,記得這都是過程。
