The origin of idioms: The Analects of Confucius Gongye Chang, a disciple of Confucius in the pre-Qin period: "Confucius said,' I have never seen a righteous man.' Or' Shen' Confucius said: I want it, too, but how can it be fair? According to this allusion, later generations derived the idiom "no desire is just".
Moral of the idiom: Laozi said, "The disaster is greater than dissatisfaction, and the blame is greater than desire." The biggest disaster in life is dissatisfaction, and the biggest fault is greed. Those wise men in life are well aware of this, so when faced with colorful temptations, they can always keep their original heart and control their desires, and reach the great realm of "being just without desire".
No desire is the premise, and "rigidity" is the result. As long as you get rid of selfish desires, you can be fearless; Fearless, you can stand upright. In the face of temptation, it is a kind of magnanimous mind, a kind of freedom beyond things, which can be described as "natural heart without desire is like water" and "nothing is better than fairness". In life, in the face of the complicated world and all kinds of temptations from all directions, no desire is only the basis for people to act and maintain their integrity.
