以道佐人主者
“Those who follow the Tao do not use force, for force always brings a backlash. Where armies have marched, thorns grow. After war, there are always bad harvests.”
以道佐人主者,不以兵强天下,其事好还。师之所处,荆棘生焉。大军之后,必有凶年。善有果而已,不敢以取强。果而勿矜,果而勿伐,果而勿骄,果而不得已,果而勿强。物壮则老,是谓不道,不道早已。
Pushing too hard in any area of life creates resistance. Whether at work, in love, or in personal growth — force invites backlash. Choose gentleness instead.
以道佐人主者不以兵强天下——以道辅佐君王,不以武力逞强。
师之所处荆棘生焉大军之后必有凶年——战争带来的只有灾难。
果而已——达到目的即可。
物壮则老——事物过于强壮就会衰老。
不道早已——不合道的东西早早消亡。
