「我有三宝,持而保之:一曰慈,二曰俭,三曰不敢为天下先。慈故能勇,俭故能广,不敢为天下先,故能成器长。」 ——《道德经》第六十七章

📖 释义 Annotation

「慈故能勇」是老子「三宝」之首——慈爱。真正的勇气并非来自愤怒或仇恨,而是来自慈爱。因为慈爱,所以能勇敢地保护所爱之人;因为心中有爱,所以能无所畏惧。母亲保护孩子的勇气,正是「慈故能勇」的最好注脚。

"Compassion enables courage" is the first of Laozi's "three treasures." True courage comes not from anger or hatred but from love. A mother's courage to protect her child is the finest illustration — not impulse, but fearless power inspired by deep love.
