reading comprehension
Gains and losses, one MINUS one plus, are regarded as two interrelated aspects, which are opposite and can be transformed into each other; Or decrease or increase, or decrease or increase, increase or decrease, or not increase or decrease. How to choose, how to choose, there is no fixed model, we should use it flexibly according to the specific situation.
Seeking a just right degree between the opposing sides is the way of thinking and attitude towards people that our ancestors liked and were good at. They never go to extremes, never cling to one aspect, and are not used to being poor, so as to get to the root of it or fight poison with poison, which makes things worse. This makes people involuntarily think of walking a tightrope: the main purpose is to keep balance and not fall down; If you lean left, you will lean right. If you lean to the right, you will lean to the left. Justice is just what you need.
The traditional wisdom, skills and knowledge of China people are used to maintain this just right degree. The process of life seems to be a tightrope walking process. Although very tired, but very stable, no ups and downs, no catastrophe, so very at ease.
The balance is largely conservative. It refuses to make progress, take risks, sprint and struggle, sticks to its self-enclosed mentality, is quiet and motionless, and makes people old and lifeless.
