Some people choose financial gain and short-term self-gratification over righteousness and benevolence. Some people choose righteousness and benevolence not out of a desire for gain, but because it is their nature.

The world is the foundation of the state. The state is dependent on the proper governance of the districts; the districts care for and are dependent on the households. The individual is the foundation of good governance and good governance cultivates the individuals.

A prosperous ruler invests in the people. A failing one invests in nobility. A doomed one in women and jewels. Sages are wary of accumulation and decadence.

Seasonal changes arise from yinyang cycling. Timing should be used to regulate governance in accordance.
Living according to the changes can support healthy outcomes.

Tyranny that violates the people violates Heaven (天).

"Heaven sees as the people see; Heaven hears as the people hear."
"天视自我民视,天听自我民听。"
Mencius quoting the Shangshu over 2000 years ago.
孟子 - 万章章句上

Some principles of good governance will be correct until people end.

This is a foundation of strength.

There is a way for things to work. Those of lesser moral character are beneath those with greater. This world is upside down, the immoral rule the moral, the poor are forced to pay the rich, and the weak serve the strong. Make it work and survive.

If you lead by executive order and regulate with cruelty, the people will evade the law but have no sense of shame. Lead by virtuous example, and encourage stability, and people will behave appropriately.
Inspired by Confucius; Analects 2.3

Imprecise orders, chaotic implementation, and fundamental mismanagement.
Breakdown of rites and morality leads to the fragmentation of one’s perception of reality. Everyone suspects each other. There can be no peace at this time. These are human caused disorders.

People are of first importance, granaries second, the ruler last.
A good and benevolent ruler puts themselves last, behind the people they lead, ensuring that no one falls behind. They act with compassion and wisdom.
"民为贵,社稷次之,君为轻..."

“Let yourself lose focus of the grade. Grow deep roots, have high aspirations. Sharpen your mind and cultivate clarity. These are the foundations of education.”

Look up at the sky, the goodness of space lets us breathe and move freely. Every once in a while, give yourself a break, let the sky reflect in your mind, and let it be empty, spacious, and full of life-giving possibility.✨ 顺应天德 #SkyGazing #OpenMind #CreativeSource #Mindfulness #SpaceToThink

"Study the large or the small, there is one Dao from which everything springs."

As within, so without. Don't take things too personally. The large guides the small, but the small governs the large. Perspective can change our view.

Here is a first reminder: Gradual change comes from sincere practice. Spiritual cultivation requires steady effort, like whittling a mountain into a sewing needle.
