Analysis of Idioms

dialectical

"Misfortune is the source of happiness, and misfortune is the source of happiness." This statement has a certain dialectic ideological connotation, because dialectical materialism (later called "materialist dialectics") usually talks about "contradiction" ("unity of opposites"), as Lao Tzu said: "misfortune lies on fortune, fortune lies on fortune." What we are talking about is contradiction, and what we are talking about is the contradiction of unity of opposites. "Misfortune" makes people sad, and "happiness" makes people happy. Therefore, there is a contradiction between "misfortune" and "happiness". However, "disaster" may lead to "happiness" and "happiness" may lead to "disaster". Therefore, there is a unified contradiction between "disaster" and "happiness".

life

In life, people should unify the opposites of "disaster" and "happiness". When there is "disaster", we should think of the opposite "happiness". When there is "happiness", we should think of the opposite "disaster". We should see the hope of "happiness" from "disaster", and see the existence of "disaster" from "happiness". Only in this way can we better deal with the contradiction between "disaster" and "happiness". On the contrary, if people can't unify the opposites of "disaster" and "happiness", and think that "disaster" is "disaster" and "happiness" is "happiness", and can't see that "disaster" can bring "happiness" and "happiness" can bring "disaster", so they may not have a good attitude and method in dealing with the contradiction between "disaster" and "happiness".
