“德”這個字，左邊一個雙人旁，表示很多人；右邊是一個“十”，表示路口；下面的“四”是一個橫波目，表示眼睛；再下面是一個“一”，表示規則；最底下是一個“心”字。整個“德”這個字，表示大家一起走到十字路口，要作出選擇，大家的眼睛要盯著前面的路，要同心同德，要遵守同一個規則，更要一心一意一起走這個道。所以，“德”就是按照道去做。也就是說，道是規律，德是遵循規律。換言之，只有把規律搞清楚了再去做，才是有德，才能形成正能量，得到宇宙更高層級力量的加持；否則，如果不明道而講德，往往會偏離了正道，那就是失德了。但現在說起“道德”這個詞，處在後面的“德”已經把前面的“道”吃掉了——所謂“德”已經沒有一個嚴格的標準去衡量了；而沒有了標準，大家就都用自己的標準去衡量，把自己當成了最有德的人。所以，很多人都很自然地站在自己的角度上去審判別人，哪怕他什麼都沒做，他還是認為“我有資格去批評別人”。因為他在用聖人的標準要求別人，卻用俗人的標準要求自己，因此錯的永遠是別人。而他不管犯了什麼錯，總是振振有詞，覺得自己一貫正確……這是現在社會最普遍的一種狀態，其根源就在於把“德”之前的“道”給弄丟了。所以，如果把先後順序弄錯了，那一切都會混亂。老子在《道德經》中告訴我們的邏輯、也是《道德經》中揭示的最大規律，就是告訴我們：做事一定是道在前、德在後——要先把道搞清楚，一切才能順理成章；要按照道去做，一切才能無掛無礙。感恩您的閱讀，祝您一切美好，我們相約明天再見！

The word “virtue”,there is adouble people on the left, which means a lot of people;on the right is a ten,which means the intersection;the word four below is a transverse wave eye,whichrepresents eyes;and then the following is the word “one”,indicating the rule;atthe bottom is the word “heart”.The whole word “virtue”means that when we cometo the cross roads together, we have to make a choice,we should keep our eyeson the road ahead and be of one heart and one mind,follow the same rules,andput our whole heart into the Tao.So,morality is to do according to the Tao.Inother words, Tao is the law,following the law is the virtue.In other words,only when we have a clear understanding of the law can we have virtue and formpositive energy,get the blessing of the higher power of theuniverse;otherwise,if we speak virtue without the Tao, we will often deviatefrom the right way, that is, we will lose virtue.

However,nowadays when it comes tothe word of morality,the virtue at the back has been covered by the Tao in thefront——There is no strict standard to measure the so-called virtue;Withoutstandards, we all use our own standards to measure,thinking of yourself as themost virtuous person.So,a lot of people judge others naturally from their ownperspective,even if he did nothing, he still thought that “I was qualified tocriticize others”.Because he is using the saint's standard to demand others,but using the layman's standard to demand himself, so the faults always existin others.Instead,no matter what mistakes he made, he was always argues withreason,thinking himself right all the time……This is the most common state ofour society,the root of this phenomenon lies in abandoning the Tao in front ofthe virtue.

So,if the order is wrong,everything will get into a mess.The logic what LaoTzu told to us is also thebiggest law revealed in 《TaoTe Ching》，just told us that when we doing things we must follow therule that “put the Tao ahead and the virtue back”——Only when we have a clearunderstanding of the Tao can everything be in order;doing things according tothe Tao there will be no worries.
