水善利万物而不争。★Waternourisheseverythingbutcontendsfornothing.水善利万物而不争。老子的《道德经》第八章：“上善若水。水善利万物而不争，处众人之所恶，故几于道。居善地，心善渊，与善仁，言善信，政善治，事善能，动善时。夫唯不争，故无尤。”21.8/7/2023★Waternourisheseverythingb★Thegreatestvirtueislikewater.

“上善若水”意为最高境界的善行就像水的品性一样，泽被万物而不争名利。上善：至善，最完美；水：这里喻指与世无争的圣人。达到尽善尽美的境界，就和圣人差不多。水有滋养万物的德行，它使万物得到它的利益，而不与万物发生矛盾、冲突，故天下最大的善性莫如水。22.8/7/2023★Thegreatestvirtueislike最高的善像水那样。水善于帮助万物而不与万物相争。它停留在众人所不喜欢的地方，所以接近于道。上善的人居住要像水那样安于卑下，存心要像水那样深沉，交友要像水那样相亲，言语要像水那样真诚，为政要像水那样有条有理，办事要像水那样无所不能，行为要像水那样待机而动。正因为他像水那样与万物无争，所以才没有烦恼。23.8/7/2023最高的善像水那样。水善于帮助万23.8/2/2023★Nothingintheworldisweakerthanwaterwhenitcomestobreakingsomethingstrong.天下莫柔弱于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜。Waterisatypicalexampleoftheweakwinningoverthestrong.Waterisinvinciblebecauseitdesiresnothingandcontendsfornothing.24.8/7/2023★Nothingintheworldisweake★Awareofthestrong,oneshouldremainweak.Oneshouldstartwithone’sownweakpoints,accumulatingstrengthbykeepinglow,justaswaterdoes.Givingupthedesiretoflauntone’ssuperiorityisthebasicwaytoprosperity.★Remainingweakisnotonlythewaytoprosperity,butalsothewaytopreservinglife.25.8/7/2023★Awareofthestrong,oneshoDefinition:
