Bab 61
Negeri Balguna I Jaria Tangan
Original
故大国以下小国,则取小国;小国以下大国,则取大国。故或下以取,或下而取。
大国不过欲兼畜人,小国不过欲入事人。夫两者各得其所欲,大者宜为下。
Terjemahan
Refleksi Balga
Aha isi dohot ni chapter on?
Chapter 61讲述大国应该像下游一样谦下。大国是天下的交汇处、天下之母。雌性以静胜雄,以静为下。大国谦下于小国,则取小国;小国谦下于大国,则取大国。大国不过想兼养人,小国不过想入事人。两者各得其所欲,大者宜为下。
Songon dia hubunganna dohot ahu?
I recognize myself in both roles - sometimes as the 'big country' with resources and influence, sometimes as the 'small country' seeking庇护. The humility required of the greater party touches me deeply, as I recall moments when my pride prevented harmony.
Naon na harus kuot hian done ини?
Soday I will adopt the posture of谦下 - whether dealing with those who have less than me or those who have more, I will choose to lower myself first, allowing space for others to feel safe and valued.
