What is the meaning of "goodness is like water, virtue carries things"?

1. "Goodness is like water, virtue carries loads" comes from the eighth chapter of Laozi, meaning that when you reach the state of perfection, you are almost as good as a saint.

Expanded:

1. Water is good for all things, that is to say, water brings benefit to all things. And do not fight, fight is to fight for benefits, the water is good for all things without competition, is to help others without asking for return. For the ideal administrator, Lao Tzu called the "saint", that is, the embodiment of the "Tao". He said that noble virtues should have a water-like character: "The goodness of water is like water, water is good for all things without contention, in the midst of the evils of all people, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, the heart is good, with good benevolence, words are good, good faith, good governance, things are good, move good time. The only thing I do not fight for is not to have any problems."

2, the water itself is extremely soft, good at moisturizing everything but not with everything to compete, the length of the argument. A person to emulate the "water" selfless good behavior, we must be as soft as water, but can accommodate the world's breadth of mind and temperament. The water that embodies the "superior goodness" of Taoism possesses the character of "non-competition". What Lao Zi said "do not compete", in common parlance, is not to compete for profit, not to compete for fame, not to compete for success.
