The husband's way is not called, the argument is not made, the benevolence is ruthless, the sincerity is not modest, and the courage is not embarrassed. It's better to talk than to argue.

In the original text, the husband's way is not called, the argument is not told, the benevolence is ruthless, the sincerity is not modest, the courage is not arrogant, the words are not as good as the way, the argument is often unsuccessful, the sincerity is not believed, and the courage is not successful.

The source is Zhuangzi's Homogeneous Matter Theory.

There is no need to praise the supreme truth, the greatest argument, the most caring person, the most honest and upright person, the bravest person who never hurts others. If the truth is completely exposed, it is not the truth. There are always some things that cannot be expressed by rhetoric. Kindness is often revealed, but charity is not achieved. Extreme honesty is not true. If you are brave enough to hurt people anywhere, you can't be a truly brave person.
