Laozi believes that everything in the world exists through comparison. Beauty and ugliness, good and evil, existence, difficulty and length are all interdependent. There is only one thing, right and wrong, good and evil. On the surface, these two opposing aspects are opposite to each other, but in fact they are mutually contained and infiltrated. "Misfortune is a blessing; Blessed, cursed. " Everything is you have me, I have you, and nothing is static.
In the 40th chapter of Tao Te Ching, Laozi put forward "the movement against Tao". In other words, when things develop to a certain extent, they will inevitably transform in the opposite direction. As the saying goes, "if things are strong, they will be old, and if soldiers are strong, they will die." At the same time, the development of things and the transformation of things into opposites are not achieved overnight, and it needs to go through a process of continuous accumulation of quantity. "Hemu was born in a milli; Nine-story platform, starting with tired soil; A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. "
