我们来看看道德经的第二章。

天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已；皆知善之为善，斯不善矣。有无相生，难易相成，长短相形，高下相盈，音声相和，前后相随。是以圣人处无为之事，行不言之教。万物作，焉而弗辞，生而弗有，为而弗恃，功成而弗居。夫唯弗居，是以不去。

根据老子的思想，万物都是相对的。比如美和丑，善和恶，长和短，有和无。他们互相对立，也互相依赖。If the beauty is everywhere, no one will see it as beautiful anymore. So we shouldn’t push too hard on the things we cannot control. For example, if all the girls do the plastic surgery to become a standard beauty, there would be no one considered beautiful, because everyone is the same. Diversity is beautiful. 所以，老子说，我们要随万物生长而不去限制和控制，这样的无为，也就是不去做一些事，符合道。放下了强烈的我执，有时候选择不去做一些事，比去做还要困难。但是很多情况下，无为，不去做，才是智慧。

"After 5" by Japanese Teacher

“The cruel circumstance that many young people struggle with “unintended loneliness”” ｢多くの現代若者が苦しむ｢望まぬ孤独｣悲痛な実態」

A passenger was arrested at an Australian airport after he left a parked airplane through an emergency exit, walked along a wing, and then climbed down a jet engine to the ground.

Jetstar Flight JQ507 arrived at Melbourne Airport from Sydney on August 22. It was parked at a terminal gate when the man left the plane by the right-side exit, officials said.

Opening the exit deployed a slide from the back of the wing to the ground, a Jetstar statement said. But instead of going down the slide, the man walked along the wing and climbed down one of the Airbus A320's two engines.

Passenger Audrey Varghese said passengers screamed as the man started behaving erratically shortly before he opened the door.

She told Melbourne radio 3AW that as soon as the plane had started coming to a stop, the passenger went straight to the emergency exit row, pushing people out of the way, and opened the emergency door.

Another passenger told 9News that the man had been vaping — which is not allowed — during the 90-minute mid-morning flight and had unsuccessfully demanded the air crew provide him with alcohol.

Melbourne Airport said the man was detained by aircrew and ground staff before police arrested him.

"Melbourne Airport is proud of the exceptional response from ground crew, which meant there was no immediate danger to other passengers or airport staff," an airport statement said.

He was assessed by paramedics and taken to a hospital, a police statement said. Police will continue to investigate and charges are likely to be laid at a later date.
