Laozi, the one who use violence will die in violence

hi I'm Andy, Today we'll learn Laozi's thinking together

in the book is written

Dao becomes one

one becomes two, two becomes three

three becomes all the creatures, everything

okay the Dao is the ultimate Dao

it becomes one,one that means Taiji, supreme

you know the Chinese Taiji boxing huh

one becomes two

the Taiji becomes

Yin and Yang

the Taiji's logo is one black fish and one white fish

and also that two means

heaven and earth

because everything have Yin and Yang

and two becomes three

the heaven and earth they give birth to

many things, two become three

three in ancient China it means many

so the two, the Yin and Yang, the heaven earth

they gave birth to many things

like human being, animals

insects, birds, fish

plants, and three becomes all creatures

the many different creatures evolved to all kinds of

living creatures

it continued

all the living creatures

back to the Yin and holding the Yang

冲 chong air keep the balance

so all the living creatures is backing

back to and carry the Yin

and facing holding the Yang

so Chong air that is

the one

it's like before the Big Bang, that is the power

create universe

when the light air

become heaven going up

and the (heavy) Yin air become earth going down

when there's status keep them balanced

there's a power

the air is called a Chong air

so the Chong air keep the Yin air and Yang air

balance make a harmony. it continued

what people hate

is being lonely

orphan, widow

and not being good. this is what the kings

princes and dukes call themselves

okay and people always hate to be lonely

and especially when the kids

without parents become orphan or a woman

her husband died become widow

that's what people don't want to be and

not be good that's what people hate

people want to be good

but in ancient China the kings and princes and

dukes they always call himself

alone, 孤or(widow)寡

the orphan and widow

we considered lonely the only one

so ancient China

the kings and princes and the dukes call themselves

the only one

so that's in one way remind them

to have good virtue in case

become the only one left

cause nobody will support you or nobody love you

it continued

so in the world all the creatures sometimes

it becomes less is good for them or

it becomes more and is bad for them

so how do we understand these

and I think

what is become less is good for you

pain

no pain is good for you

and what becomes more is good for you money

yeah if more money is good

but sometimes

if got less money

you lose your money

maybe it's good for you

sometimes money is also a cause of problem

it's like in China before the real estate booming

and everybody live in the

quadrangle or bungalow

and people are poor

but we have a

good relationship with our neighbors or with our

family members

but when the real estate was hot

and developers start to buy more land from the people

and they give you compensation they give you money

millions of Yuan

and several unit apartment

and in one family

because this money they didn't split even

so some people think they should take more and

or sometimes

their children take away the money and apartment

they don't take away parents

so before people have money

everybody's happy

it's a harmony

but the money cause a problem people have the money

but they lost love

okay it continued, what the ancients told us

and I will teach you

the one who uses violence will die in violence

and I will make these words as a motto

okay how to understand these words

it reminds me in the Bible

put your sword back in this place

Jesus said to him

for all who draw the sword will die by the sword

I think it's the same way

Laozi make that words as a motto

okay see you next time bye bye
