Misfortune: it means disaster or bad thing.
F: This is a good thing.
Yi: It is dependence.
It lurks.
Source: Chapter 58 of Laozi: "Misfortunes depend on each other; Blessed, blessed. "
Laozi believes that everything is a potential dependence and transformation of Yin and Yang, and nothing is eternal. "Happiness" and "misfortune" are interdependent and contradictory. It is a profound philosophy of Taoism and nature that there is a curse in the blessing, and there is a blessing in the curse.
Laozi is reminding people that misfortune and happiness go hand in hand for life. People should be sober before them and not be lost by them!
Extended data:
The change of blessing and misfortune is that there is no time to define it and it can happen instantly. People's lives will inevitably have big or small misfortunes and disasters! Face it calmly when you meet it, and don't fall down when you are hit.
It is necessary to realize that "disaster" will not exist forever, and behind the disaster is the rebirth of "happiness". Good and bad things are not absolute. Under certain conditions, bad things can lead to good results, and good things can also be transformed into bad accidents!
Therefore, life should learn to face misfortune with a normal heart, so as to "not rejoice in things, not grieve for yourself", and all gains and losses are natural. Take the temporary "helplessness" fortune in life as an exercise for yourself.
Although we can't change the fate of death caused by disasters, understanding this classic of Laozi can still exert some self-control, thus prolonging the "blessing" and shortening the helpless cycle of life.
