道德经注解(四十一):名与身孰亲

道德经
Name and consanguinity?More body and goods?Gaining and dying?Because of this, love will cost a lot of money. If you hide more, you will die thickly. If you are satisfied, you will not be insulted. If you don't know much, you can stay for a long time. * * Note: Who is more affectionate with fame than the body?Who has more body than merchandise?Which is more problematic between gain and loss?Therefore, the more you like it, the more it will cost. The more you collect it, the more it will be lost. Satisfaction will not be frustrated, and knowing it will not be dangerous, so that it can last for a long time. * *
