Tao Te Ching 49 (Second Paragraph)
To those who are good to me, I am good; and to those who are not good to
me; I am also good; and thus all get to be good. To those who are sincere with
me, I am sincere; and to those who are not sincere with me, I am also sincere;
and thus all get to be sincere.
Today I will
interpret the Tao Te Ching 49 (Second Paragraph). “To those who are good to me,
I am good; and to those who are not good to me, I am also good; and thus all
get to be good”. This sentence means that being good does not require for
someone to be good also to you. If you are good to others, continue being good
to them even they show you with bad things or even they don’t return goodness
that you showed to them. When you are showing goodness to others, don’t be
tired showing it to them even they don’t show it back to you because when they
saw that you are being good to them even they are not being good to you, they
will eventually be good to you and if you show everyone with goodness, everyone
will be good to you and to each other.
“To those who
are sincere with me, I am sincere; and to those who are not sincere with me, I am
also sincere; and thus all get be sincere”. Same thing with the first paragraph,
you should also be sincere even the person you showed sincerity is not sincere
with you. Don’t be weary of being sincere with everyone even they are not
sincere with you, because once they reflected on their action, they will be the
one who will be ashamed with their not being sincere with you even you are
sincere. And once they reflected on it, they will show sincerity to you. Once
sincerity is established to many, it will follow to the few who are not sincere
and once it followed, all will get to be sincere.
