We human beings think that we hate to suffer a loss. When we lose, we will blame others who wreck the loss on us. Or, we will envy others who gain more than us. We tend to calculate the loss and gain by comparing others and us, and then blame and envy them. Budo which is Zen is the way for leaving from the the ground level and, so to speak, taking a bird's eye view from a higher level. It is to become free from all of such standards of value as winning or losing, superiority or inferiority, and loss or gain, and cultivate a bird's eye view of time and space. Doing so makes us naturally find the heaven is fair.

After Reading Lao Tsu: Chapter 79 老子：第七九章を読んで
我々は損をしたくないと思う。損をしたら，損をした原因である他人を怨む。あるいは，自分より得をしている他人を妬む。自分と他人を比べて損得を測り，怨んだり妬んだりする。禅である武道とは，その地平から逃れて，言わばずっと高いところから鳥瞰的に眺める視点を獲得するための道である。他者との比較に基づく勝敗や優劣や損得という価値基準から一切合切逃れ，時空を俯瞰的に観る目を養う。そうすれば自ずと，天は公平であることが分かる。
