Đạo bất đồng, bất tương vi mưu: Người không cùng chí hướng khó kết giao | Tinh Hoa TV

In the Linguistics of Confucianism, it is written, 道不同不相为盟 That is, people who are not on the same path, not on the same direction, cannot work together. Even if they are reluctant, it is not successful, and even brings harm to each other. 道不同不相为盟 People who are not on the same path are difficult to connect. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two scholars, Quang Ninh and Hoa Hum. They were very close to each other. One day, the two of them were plowing the field, and they plowed a yellow grass. Quang Ninh saw the yellow grass, and immediately thought it was like a brick or a stone. He continued to plow and pushed the yellow grass to one side. Meanwhile, Hoa Hum was not satisfied, so he picked up the yellow grass on his bike for a while, and then threw it to the ground. A few days later, when the two of them were in the reading room, there was a loud noise on the street. It was very noisy. Quang Ninh was stunned, and continued to read. Hoa Hum stood still, and finally ran out of the book. Quang Ninh saw that Hoa Hum was not on the same path as him, and immediately took a small knife, cut off the two arrows, and the two of them sat together. Since then, he has not seen Hoa Hum as a friend anymore. There is a saying in the ancient language, that is, people have their own direction, and others cannot be forced. In the book, there is also a saying, that is, birds of a feather flock together, so how can you know the direction of a bird of a feather flock? For example, ordinary people cannot know the direction of a person with a pure heart. In fact, these sayings are all meaningful, Of course, Taoism here has a very broad meaning, only the direction, idea, concept, study, and pursuit of each person. The meaning of the sentence is that things of the same kind, common, and of the same place. This sentence has a historical basis as follows. In the war of the Song and Qing Dynasties, Tuyen Vuong announced that he was looking for a knight all over the world to help him govern the country. There was a knight named Thuan Vu Khum, who in one day, elected seven talented people to the throne. Tuyen Vuong passed the exam, of course, everyone had a high rank. Tuyen Vuong felt very curious, so he asked Thuan Vu Khum. He heard that it was very difficult to find talents. In a vast area, it was not easy to find a knight. So, Khanh, in one day, was able to elect seven knights like that. Thuan Vu Khum immediately said, The same kind of bird will live in the same place, the same kind of animal will go the same way. If you want to find the material, you have to use the lake and the wings. If you look for it on the ground, you can't find it all your life. But if you go to the northern mountains to look for it, the two kinds of material, even if you use a car to carry it, you can't find it all. This is because the animals in the world, if they are the same kind, they live in the same place. Thuan Vu Khum, the god here, can also be seen as a knight. So, the Queen of Heaven elected a knight, just like going to the river to get water, or using a fire to make a fire. It's very easy. God also prepared to elect for the Queen another group of knights, not just these seven people. Many names of the ancient people all remind people that people with the same orientation, personality, are the same, then they can live together, combine in one place, in a peaceful way. It also means that the most basic cause that people can become good friends with each other is to have the same orientation, to have the same point of view and point of view in dealing with things. According to the ancient people, true friends are those who have the same mind, the same religion. In life, those who have the same mind, the same world, the same values, and the same personality are difficult to become true friends. For example, a person with the heavenly nature, a person who worships authority, this is the world-view of discord, a person who believes in morality, a person who pursues material things, this is the world-view of discord. A person who wants to be normal, the other person who wants to be a superior, this is the life-view of discord. These two types of people are very difficult to understand and become true friends. Visiting is the biggest obstacle between people. People with different views, when they meet, they will talk about different topics. And the way to explain love is not the same. If they meet for a while, it's okay to talk for a while. But if there is more time for each other, they will talk like chickens and ducks. From there, both of them feel bored. And even may not understand, but also hurt each other. There is a strange story that the frog and the mouse became friends. Because they want to be together all the time, they tied their feet together. When they tied their feet, they walked on the ground normally. They can eat together, feel very happy. But when they reached the edge of the pond, the frog jumped down the pond, causing the mouse to be dragged down. The frog was on the water, feeling very happy. But the pitiful mouse could not swim. After a while, the mouse died of hunger. The frog's body was floating on the water, while its feet were still tied to the frog's feet. Just then, a fox flew by, saw the body of the mouse, so he jumped into the water to pick up the mouse. The frog was also picked up and became the delicious food of the fox. People with different worldviews, values, and personalities, but often close to each other, will be like the mouse and the frog in the story above. They can only hurt each other. Just like in life, between good and bad people, it is very difficult to be friends. There is a saying, good and evil are divided, good and evil are opposed. Even if the good person gives in forever, in the end it will be like water with fire. However, it is very difficult for two bad people to be together for a long time. Although there is a saying that bad people often play together, but if it is really a bad person, it will definitely be selfish. When there is a relationship of interest, no one will give in to anyone. In the end, each person goes their own way. So it seems that only two good people can go together for a long time.
