Singapore time 1.26 pm 4th May 2008Settling great dispute will have side dispute; use virtue to report dispute, can pacify, console be good? Therefore the Sage will maintain the left side contract and will not hold other people responsible. So have virtue manage contract, no virtue manages passing through blame. Heavenly Tao is impartial, always favours with good men.
Chinese versions different.
The above from Comment on Daodejing. It is impartiality when judging dispute to ride self of favourism to any side. Don't get involved in other people dispute unless you are the judge. You might not know the true facts of each side and can pass wrong judgement. It is best to be a onlooker, and you can find more clues to the dispute.
On money matter, it is best to forgo debt of any person if he cannot pay you. And the advice is not to lend anyone any money. So it is best you keep yourself poor so others cannot borrow money from you. In case of emergency of neighbour needing money for medical operation, then it is up to you discretion whether to help.
The Way of Nature is impartial. It is alway on the side of the good. At time it might seems Nature is unfair. There is alway a reason. Do not blame Nature or God for your misfortune. This is Fat or Destiny.
