People often say that goodness is like water, what does it mean?

"Kindness is like water", from "Lao Tzu". On the face of it, it means that the supreme goodness is the supreme goodness, the goodness that has reached a very perfect state.

The goodness of the most perfect realm is like water. According to the explanation of the words at the end of the original text in "Lao Tzu": "Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is better than the Tao."

Water is the source of all things, the foundation of all things, and water nourishes all things but does not compete with them, but only gathers in low-lying places that people don't like and hate. Therefore, Lao Tzu believes that this is close to the Great Dao. ‍‍

Under normal circumstances, "goodness is like water" is followed by the phrase "virtuous and virtuous". The highest goodness is actually the great good, the highest good, and if it is water, it is like water. Water is intangible and tangible, it can be ice, it can be water, it can be vapor, and it can transform into each other.

That is to say, goodness can actually be in many ways, as long as the most fundamental remains the same, no matter how it changes outside, it is good, this is the great good, and it does not change with the changes in the outside world. ‍‍

Water nourishes all things, and everything in the world is inseparable from water, so the water benefits all things, but the characteristic of water is that it always flows downward. All things are willing to fight for the top, and if they don't want to go down, only the water benefits all things but not with all things for status. This characteristic of water contracts the inaction of virtue or goodness of "being born without being, for the sake of not being ashamed, and meritifying but not dwelling", so there is the motto "good is like water". ‍‍

My understanding of goodness is that many of us do good deeds that are not necessarily as they appear on the surface, and they are not necessarily good on the surface, and sometimes this kind of behavior is not recognized by others, but it is actually good. True goodness is low-key, intangible, as ordinary as water, and as important as water, and this is the great good. ‍‍

He is the king, who has the merit of stabilizing the country, but he has no desire for power and wealth, and does not strive to be above the people and called himself a lonely widow, but is willing to live under the people incognito. All things are indisputable, this is inaction. ‍‍
