Use a feather like an arrow.

In Chinese language, there are alot of interesting proverbs which has immense meeting.  It maybe a figure of speech but if you read deeply, you will release the meeting between the lines and it will also illustrate the real and diverse character of human beings.

In real life, some people twisted the real meaning to their advantage and abuse the power given to them. The proverb like using a feather as an arrow, in reality it  is a feather ,then how can it be used as an arrow. The shape may look the same but in reality, it is a total different thing.  The feather cannot be used to kill but as an arrow , it is potent.In simple terms, the original message have been manipulated from a simple instruction to a dead sentence by the messenger.

Another similar Chinese proverb is " give a little color but the whole face is painted in bright red" ,  In Chinese Opera , the lesser chracters often have lightly painted face but for some slimyor dubious char acters, they paint their whole face bright red, so that they become more prominent than the main actors.  Again, this illustrate malicious character of human being, who take the slightest opportunity to out shine the main characters.

Human being are very cunning and egoistic. Often their eog gets bigger and run wild. If the good people tolerates these malicious characters, it will empower them and evil will prevail.  I believe that it is better not to condone them but wacked these characters into  appropriate shape. Burst their ego to reveal their true character and shame them in the eyes of righteousness.

If this happens, then Heaven will be pleased as light push back the darkness.

Namaste.
