道德經 79章
和大怨必有餘怨,安可以為善。
是以聖人執左契而不責於人。
有德司契, 無德司徹。
天道無親,常與善人。
=====================================================
現代的話就是說:
解決大的怨常常有一些小的怨余留,這樣才能達成和解。
因而,聰明人拿到不完美的契約合同,也不責備對方。
有德行的人,以契約精神處理事務。沒有德行的人,以權力暴力處理事務。
天下的道理,不以親遠來斷事,而是常常給與正確的一方。
Resolving unagreed big conflict may
usually have small unagreed conflict remained. Then it can reach a good deal.
Therefore, wise person got an unperfect resolution but not blaming the other
party.
A person with high esteem does
jobs with contractual rules. A person without high esteem does jobs with
enforced rules.
In the law of heaven, there is no partiality to love ones, it usually benefits to
good persons.
