It means: we should try to repay the interests of others, and we should try to forget the resentment between us and others. We can't always keep them in mind, but we should always remember their kindness to us.
In ancient times, there was a man named Song Jiu who worked as a county magistrate in the county town at the junction of Liang and Chu. The fields around the junction of Liang and Chu are all in Gua Tian.
Because Liang people are very hardworking, they take care of the seedlings every day, so watermelons grow well. However, the Chu people are just the opposite. They are lazy and don't care as much as the Liang family, so watermelons don't grow well.
Chu people don't look for problems from themselves, but they have evil thoughts and don't want Liang people's melons to grow well. So I went to Liang people's fields at night, trampled on them at will, and tore off melons and vines.
The next day, the Liang people found it destroyed. They found the county magistrate Song Jiu and talked about their dissatisfaction. They also wanted to destroy the melon land of the Chu people by trampling on it.
Song told them that being enemies with others would only bring disaster. If people treat us badly, we should treat them badly. Isn't that the same as them? We are not good people anymore. If you listen to me, you should be sincere and touching. Starting today, I will secretly help the Truman to water Gua Tian every night.
Chu people later discovered that their melon fields were carefully watered by Liang people, and the melons grew better and better.
The Chu people felt very ashamed, and the King of Chu ordered Liang Wang to be rewarded, and the two countries became good friends.
In our life, we often encounter such things. A wise man knows how to resolve conflicts and become friends with the enemy.
In this way, their road will be wider and wider.
Therefore, in our life, we should always remember that "gratitude wants to repay kindness, resentment wants to forget." Short complaints are long rewards. "
