What is the difference between seeing someone in trouble and not helping versus not taking the right path in top-level thinking?
First: What does it mean to see someone in trouble and not help? Allowing close relatives to hit a wall, watching loved ones take a wrong path, quietly observing close friends fall into pitfalls.
No one’s advice will lead a person to enlightenment. Only through experiences of loss, regret, injury, and low points can a person awaken and see through human relationships and the truths of the world!
Please put away your good intentions and do not interfere casually in others' karma. Advising someone to be good, teaching them to make money, helping them avoid pitfalls may seem like saving them, but in reality, it depletes your own fortune and energy. The deepest practice in life is learning to grit your teeth and hold back tears while watching important people in your life take risks. Moral experiences speak of the past to enlighten others, and act accordingly. In the present, understanding may seem foolish or reckless. In the future, understanding is tied to great filial piety; lack of filial piety is insufficient for the way. Once both parties' understanding is not on the same dimension, regardless of who you are to them, they will instinctively reject and resist. Never help them make any decisions or even give hints; it will not benefit you or them.
In "Journey to the West", why didn't the Buddha Sakyamuni send the scriptures directly to the Tang Dynasty, but instead required Tang Seng and his three disciples to go through so much effort to fetch the scriptures? This is because the law is not lightly transmitted, the path is not sold cheaply, help is not given on an easy road, and medicine is not forced at the door. Useful methods, superb techniques, professional knowledge, and the heart of a healer—these four things, when given to the other party before the right conditions have come, is to harm both others and oneself. Everyone's awakening has its own rhythm and opportunity; until then, a thousand words are just noise. Although the world is vast, it cannot nourish rootless grass. Although the Dao and methods are broad, they do not ferry those without fate. The truest principles in the world often come from the painful realizations of blood and broken bones, and the deepest wisdom often grows from skin-deep pain. A person's awakening comes 1% from others' reminders and 99% from enduring severe suffering. The saying goes, if the heart does not die, the Dao does not arise; if the heart does not suffer, wisdom does not open. All those who achieve great enlightenment have once been beyond cure; when the pain reaches its peak, one will naturally awaken. Therefore, to see death and not save is not indifference but a kind of hint. When a person insists on jumping into the abyss, reaching out to pull them back will only make you the sinner who obstructs their awakening. Some difficulties must ultimately be faced alone. Some realizations must see bloodshed. Only through extreme pain can one learn restraint. Only after falling to the lowest point can one look up at the sky.
Secondly, to see a road and not walk it. What is a road? The experiences and methods of successful people; most people's instinct is to spend the least effort to gain the greatest benefit. While copying others' models and directly imitating their experiences can be effective, it is ultimately limited. Because others' successes are results under their specific conditions, you can never replicate all the conditions. People are usually lazy to think and diligent in emotional matters, often treating one condition as the only factor. For example, the most common saying is, 'Everyone is human; if others can do it, I can too.' But the fact is that others can do it, but you may not necessarily be able to. Being human is just one commonality among countless conditions; only when all conditions correspond can you possibly succeed. Unfortunately, people can hardly replicate all of others' conditions. The truly correct way to avoid going astray is not to copy, not to be attached, and not to be dogmatic. However, the understanding of these four words is still far from enough. There is also a layer of reverence for objective laws. What is a law? A law is a Dao that is objective and does not change with human will. There are objective laws in both human nature and nature itself. So why can some people foresee the development of events? It is not because they can really predict the future, but because they can aim at the underlying logical connections and laws amid the chaotic surface.
To see a road and not walk it means to see the non-road, which signifies observing cause and effect. It does not mean you should walk the same path as others, nor does it mean you should walk a different path from others, because sameness and difference have never been criteria for judgment. It means to base your actions on your own conditions, to bring in the successful experiences of others into your specific conditions, and then to learn and correct based on objective laws, walking the path of cause and effect, the possibility of conditions. As long as this cause is achieved, our result will naturally grow. In reality, many people hope to invite a wise person to offer guidance, to set a path for themselves, and then just walk down it to become wealthy and successful. In fact, this is very difficult.
The only way is to elevate your own understanding, and then continuously explore and practice to find a path that truly belongs to you.
Looking at the trading market, most people are actually always obsessed with seeking external help... hoping others will make money for them, hoping for guidance from experts, and even throwing money at others to lead trades, while being too lazy to think for themselves and explore a trading model that suits them. No matter how good others' methods are, you can only take them as references. Only with a stable core can borrowing from the external brilliance be the right path. Very few people who achieve great results do so by relying on others' trading logic, and what they learn externally is never about so-called strategies or techniques, but rather the thinking logic of experts!
When the market is not good, cultivating the mind is paramount. If the above helps you, please like and follow to progress together!
