After Reading Lao Tsu: Chapter 74 老子：第七四章を読んで

例えば，人に侮辱されたり，人が規則に反したりしたとき，我々は怒りを感じる。前者を私憤，後者を公憤という。私憤からその人に報復したり，公憤からその人に制裁を加えたりしたいとつい思う。しかしこのとき武道家であれば，あえて自ら行動しない。なぜなら，その人は，武道家本人が自ら手を下さなくとも，タオによって必ず報いを受けるからである。「私」自らがしなければならないという思いを捨てる。そうすれば，無駄な争いをせずに済む。

For example, when a person insults us or violates the rules, we feel angry. The former is called private indignation, and the latter public indignation. We unintentionally think that we want to retaliate against him/her based on such private indignation, or punish him/her based on such public one. But, at such a time, Budo-ka intentionally would not do anything. It is because the Tao will make him/her inevitably pay for what he/she did even if the Budo-ka him/herself do nothing with him/her. Let go of the idea that "I" have to do it "by myself." Then, you will be released from unnecessary conflicts.
