Laozi, Dao suppress desire

  • Summary

  • hi i'm Andy

    today we'll learn Laozi's thinking together

    Dao is always doing nothin

    but there isn't anything he didn't do

    if the king and princes

    they could hold the Dao

    and all the creatures will evolve by themselves

    during their involvement

    they will have a desire

    I will suppress them with undefined simple rules

    after suppressed by the undefined simple rules

    all the creatures will become no desire

    without desire

    they will be quiet

    the whole world will be stable

    okay

    it seemed the human being

    we domained this world

    Dao didn't do anything but actually

    everything we did is the result of a Dao

    it doesn't mean we follow the Dao

    sometimes we did things against the Dao

    but the Dao allowed it happen

    if every king of a country president or a ceo of a company could hold the Dao

    and everybody will find its own place they will evolve by their own

    and they will do the right thing however

    during the involvement

    everybody will have a desire

    every country have their own interest

    so they will be unstable

    but you can suppress the desire with undefined simple rules

    in English

    there's words "you name it"

    so the Dao is you can't name it

    so it's undefined simple rules

    without desire there will be universal peace

    but is it desire is the motivate of development

    China is an ancient country

    we created splendid civilization in the world

    but since the Opium War

    China lose the war

    the western civilization beat our ancient oriental civilization

    because in ancient China

    the agricultural country

    man is farming in the fields

    women's weaving fabric at home

    that's we called男耕女织

    that's the ideal society in ancient China

    so we keep it for thousands years

    because no desire

    even we have some achievements in science and technology

    but the whole China was runned in the feudal system

    it doesn't matter

    if it's Mongolian or Manchurian or Han people

    rule China is all the same system

    in China

    we followed no desire

    but when we have conflict with the west

    we lose the war

    so people will reconsider our culture

    if that's the problem

    in Laozi's thinking

    it will be universal peace if there's no desire

    but how could a human being don't have a desire

    this is against human nature

    so personally

    i think if you can control your desire

    you are a gentleman

    you are a good guy

    see you next time bye bye
