Chapter 65 of the Tao Te Ching-

Those who are good in ancient times are not wise to the people, but will be stupid to the people. The reason why people are difficult to treat is because of wisdom. Therefore, governing the country with wisdom is a thief of the country; Governing the country without wisdom is the blessing of the country.

Knowing them is another example. Often know the record type, which is called Xuande. Xuande was deep, far away, disobeyed, and then connected with Datong.

Those who learn from the past are good, but those who don't learn from the people are stupid.

He said that people who were very good at governing the country by Tao in ancient times never encouraged ordinary people to be smart, but the strategies he adopted.

It would be foolish.

He will try his best to make the people humble and filial, and they don't seem to be smart either. Anyone who is considered smart by others is not smart enough. A really smart person will be hidden. Only then will he show it, and he will be confused all day long.

The reason why people are difficult to treat is because of wisdom. Therefore, governing the country with wisdom is a thief of the country; Governing the country without wisdom is the blessing of the country.

He said why people are difficult to treat? Why is it so difficult to serve the people?

Because ordinary people think they are smart, the less knowledgeable they are, the more they have to pretend to be experts. The less clever they are, the more they like to play tricks. Then began to intrigue, desperate to save face. He will seize the opportunity to show it for fear that others will look down on him.

So if you govern the country with wisdom, especially China, you will be miserable. Why? Because China people are best at that sentence, they always have a plan, he always has a skill, and he is the most resourceful, because we have a lot of art throughout the ages. then what Always surprise, surprise, you are finished, can you handle him?

Governing the country with wisdom will bring social unrest and people's disaster. I lied to you with my professional knowledge. If I talk to you and you can understand, I won't lie to you, so I will make up a lot of technical terms and add a few English words to scare you. That's funny. You'll give me money.

If you don't use this skill, it is said that knowledge is actually a trick to govern the country.

Do not govern the country with wisdom.

This is the blessing of the people.

It's also a pleasure to know both.

If you know these two different modes, one is a blessing and the other is a curse, but you should know that there is only one truth behind them.

Long knowledge is called Xuande.

Xuande understood this truth for a long time and used it properly. It's called Xuande. You often think that if you don't understand the people and are stupid, you will know what to do, but Lao Tzu still reminds us.

Xuande is far-reaching, but it is a thing.

Liu Bei, she is subtle, mysterious and unfathomable, which is very understandable. She will never go far. You can use it anywhere with it, but it seems to be the opposite of what we saw. He is reminding us.

Xuande means that we should return to the original with the common people, not go back to the past. Returning to the original is a state of mind, not to tear down all the houses, to live a life without houses before, to destroy the whole modern civilization and to live the original life. I don't know,

We need these things, but when we need these things, our mentality is to return to the original. Don't have too many desires, enough is enough, and don't go against nature in anything. You see, the houses are becoming more and more unnatural, which is more and more unfavorable to the people who live in them.

You see, we used to be able to combine with the outside air at any time. Now, instead of locking you in, there is air conditioning and central control of the wind. As long as one person is sick, he will spread you all over the floor. How many bacteria are there in those pipes? If you don't have a disease, you will live with it, but this is knowledge. You must know whether to return to it or not, and don't be so obsessed all the time.

Then even Dashun.

Only in this way can you completely conform to nature and return to the natural avenue with Tao. Lao Tzu's meaning is very simple. You run the country with wisdom, and finally the government and the people compete. Either officials and people use each other, or officials and people frame each other. It is not good for officials and people to fight against each other, nor is it good for officials and people to harm each other. Officials and people are too close. Only in this way can the interests of the minority be taken into account? We can't say that people are ignorant and close all schools now. It is out of the question. The only way is to raise their intelligence to morality. Now we should improve moral cultivation before teaching him knowledge, instead of teaching him knowledge in advance from kindergarten and not paying attention to morality.

We should be smart, but not smart, because smart is bound to suffer, so we don't argue.

Don't just look at the present, pay attention to fixed knowledge. He will only be his major, worldly-wise, and completely ignorant. He will suffer, and he will suffer himself.
