Jiang Weng resigned and returned to his hometown, and at that time, people respected him for being fair and honest and regarded him as a virtuous man.

There was a villager who scolded Jiang Weng when he was drunk outside, and someone denounced the villager, but Jiang Weng was kind and did not pursue it.

But a year later, the man made an even bigger mistake and was put in prison and sentenced to beheading.

Jiang Weng felt guilty in his heart, he just felt that he should be tolerant at the time, but he didn't expect that he was conniving at him, so that his temperament became worse and worse.

If I had dealt with him at the beginning, sent him to the government to govern, and punished him a little, maybe it would not have caused the ending like today.

His own momentary kindness cost this person's life.

To behave in the world, we must uphold a good heart, but not all good intentions can bring good results, and many "small kindnesses" will cause big disasters.

What is the meaning of "small kindness"? It means that after the heart cannot bear it, a thought of kindness, without careful consideration, and doing it easily, this is called small kindness.

When people see disabled children on the street, they inevitably have a kind attack and give some money, which is a gesture, but it cannot fundamentally solve the livelihood problem of these children.

And, to make matters worse, many criminals take advantage of people's kindness to harm healthy children, make them disabled, and then force them to beg on the streets.

This kindness of "raising hands" has caused more tragedies for children.

There are many people who have the habit of buying animals and releasing them in order to save animals that are about to be killed or dying.

But in reality, it is precisely because of their purchases that more hunting and killing are brought about.

It is the practices of these people that have further contributed to the development of illegal hunting, which has caused the catastrophe of those animals.

People have sensibility and rationality, and good thoughts belong to sensibility, but doing good deeds must be rational.

Doing good only with emotion, but completely ignoring what kind of consequences such kindness will bring to the other party, such kindness is only satisfying one's own selfish desires, which is what people call "small goodness is like big evil".

So why is it said that the great good is the most ruthless?

There is such a sentence in the fifth chapter of Taishang Laojun's "Tao Jing", "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs", which means that heaven and earth do not care whether they are good or bad, and heaven and earth give birth to all things, but heaven and earth treat all things like the grass dog that has been discarded.

In layman's terms: Heaven and earth look at all things the same, not to be particularly good to anyone, nor to anyone who is particularly bad, everything develops naturally.

No matter what becomes of all things, it is the creation of all things themselves, and it has nothing to do with heaven and earth.

This is called "the greatest good is the most ruthless".

The relationship between heaven and earth is interlocking and intricate, take the biological chain as an example, plants absorb nutrients from the soil, herbivores feed on plants, lower carnivores feed on herbivores, higher carnivores feed on herbivores and lower carnivores, and after the death of higher carnivores, under the action of microorganisms, decay and return to dust, which is a cyclical process.

In this chain, every creature in the food chain is a relationship between eating and being eaten, if God takes special care of a certain creature, then what does the creature in the upper reaches of its food chain eat?

The rules of the Heavenly Dao are an organic whole, and in a net, as long as one node is broken, the entire net will collapse.

It is precisely because the way of heaven does not pay attention to human feelings, so the rules of heaven can be "independent and not changing, traveling around without being destroyed", "the heavenly net is restored, negligent but not lost", and the whole world will be so orderly, orderly, metabolized, and cyclically evolved.

If God talked about feelings, in order to take care of some individual creatures and repeatedly violated the rules and broke the rules, then the whole world would have been chaotic a long time ago.

Heaven and earth will not express anything, nor will they interfere with anything, it seems to be ruthless, but in fact it is the great goodness of heaven and earth.

Everyone has kindness in their hearts, and when others are in danger, they will be unbearable and want to help, but if your good deeds are just to calm the unbearable in your heart, rather than to really improve the situation of others, it is a "small kindness", such good deeds, or not to do well, otherwise it is easy to let the other party fall into new dangers.

True kindness must be matched with wisdom, people must not only understand the world's hearts, but also need to understand the laws of nature and heaven, only in this way, his good deeds can be in line with the way of heaven, not against nature and can help others get out of trouble, such kindness is true kindness.

Zuojia Village suffered this year, and after the New Year, the rain was like a debt from God, counting the grains and dripping down. It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, which is good, and there is nowhere to buy it if you have money.

The springs in this village have dried up, the ponds for storing water are not enough, and the neighboring villages also know that there will be a drought, so they stubbornly guard their own water and do not lend it, and the old people in Zuojia Village are wrinkled and wrinkled.

There was no way, this water could only be used carefully, so the village sent strong offspring to take turns to keep vigil. One is to keep an eye on some water, and the other is to prevent neighboring villages from stealing water.

In this later life, there was a man named Zuosan, who was honest and enthusiastic, and the village sent him to patrol the water, so he spent the whole night wandering around the fields without his eyes, and that day he actually encountered strange things.

In the second half of the night, the heat wave finally subsided, and the sky and earth were mixed with a slight coolness.

The third left walked briskly towards the last piece of land at the east end of the village. From a distance, he saw a dark shadow on the edge of the field, not very tall, leaning on his back little by little, and he didn't know what to do.

Zuo San is not stupid and bold, he tiptoes closer to see what the other party is doing.

Before he could get closer, he heard a few "cooing" toads, and the voice was dull and short, as if it had taken a lot of effort.

Zuo San looked fixedly, and it turned out that the black shadow was squatting, with two hands on the ground like a huge toad lying on the ground, and his cheeks were still bulging.

At another look, with each coo, the man opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of water, and after a while he vomited, the whole ground was drenched, and the black shadow sat down to wipe his sweat, as if he was very tired.

Zuo San knew that he would either run into a stranger, or a kind-hearted monster, and after thinking about it, it was no wonder that the crops had grown well in the past few days, and it turned out that there were capable people to help.

Thinking of this, Zuo San couldn't help but jump out: "Thank you for your help." ”

The man jumped up with a "croak" and seemed to be very frightened, and Zuo San hurriedly chased after him: "Please also ask Engong to stay, stay!"

The man saw that Zuo San was chasing tightly, so he had to stop, turned his head and said angrily: "You don't have to be polite, I am not a benefactor, hundreds of years ago, my home was in the small pond of Zuojia Village." ”

Seeing Guo San's eyes in surprise, this man grunted and said: There is nothing to hide, my body is a toad essence, I was arrested by a naughty boy in a neighboring village at that time, and I was thought to be ugly and played half dead, but fortunately I was saved by your ancestors. ”

"He didn't think I was ugly, he took me home to heal me, and I stayed in your house until the ancestor died, and then I left home without any worries to continue my practice. Now that there is a great disaster in Zuojia Village, I am also half a "person" of Zuojia Village, so how can I not save myself when I see death? It's just that my mana is low, and I can only swallow half of the pond at a time, and I can also water the ground, but when I become good in cultivation, I will have the ability to move rivers and seas. "The toad spirit showed a little boasting, and it was very cute.

Zuo San saw that he was straightforward and funny, and he would repay his kindness, and he had a good impression at the moment, so he invited the toad spirit to become a guest, and the toad spirit did not refuse, so Zuo San informed the whole village, and the village chief was happy to set up a banquet to entertain the engong.

The village not only prepared delicious food, but also supported the children to catch a lot of small insects, and sure enough, the toad spirit ate and drank happily that day.

After three rounds of drinking, the toad was slightly drunk, and he did not defend immediately. A round bead spit out from the hazy eyes of the wine, and smiled at Zuo San: "Didn't you ask me which one I cultivated that day? Actually, I practice the Dao of Change and the Water Dao, this is my ontological water bead, and only by relying on it can I grow my cultivation." This water droplet, also known as the spiritual water bead by human beings, can be placed in a well to keep the water source dry for a hundred years.

After speaking, the toad spirit fell asleep before he had time to retract the beads.

At this moment, the mutation suddenly appeared, and in an instant, the wind and clouds surged and the thunder rolled for nine days, seeing that the sun and the moon were flying during the day, the sun and the moon were gone, and the toad was woken up by the thunder, and "coo" screamed: "Why did I cross the catastrophe today?" After finishing the words, he was vigorously knocked down, and it was the third left who protected the toad essence.

Zuo San's green muscles were exposed, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he shouted at God: "Thief God! Straight mother thief! Why is it wrong in my Zuojia Village to be killed completely? If the toad has a good heart, will it also be struck by lightning? If this is the case, take my life and fight for it with my life, right?"

At this moment, a thunderbolt struck, the toad was split out of the body, and the clothes of the third left were scorched and shattered, but fortunately both of them were fine.

The thunderstorm lasted for about a quarter of an hour, but it was loud but powerful, and after the thunderstorm, a torrential rain watered the crops, which was again a blessing in disguise.

The toad spirit who settled down said: "The way of heaven is constant, and the most important thing is balance." Now that I have helped to change the fortune road of Zuojia Village, the way of heaven is indispensable to find my body. No matter what, I will repay the kindness of others, although I will not regret it. ”

Zuo San cried: "How dare you let your benefactor suffer? My Zuo family will definitely protect the Dharma for you for generations, and sincerely pray day and night to enhance your luck." ”

The toad spirit laughed and said, "Life and death are constant, you don't have to worry about it." I don't mind life and death, it's all a certainty. To be a demon is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. ”

After speaking, the toad essence disappeared, I don't know where to go to the five lakes or the four seas, where does this love and righteousness toad spirit stay?

People often say that birds and beasts are not as good, but they don't know that the noble people in the beasts are endless, but it is the turbid world that is full of ugliness.

Being a demon is not in the human body, it depends on whether there is a human heart.
