Heaven? humane?

After reading several wonderful film reviews, I feel that it can basically be regarded as an economics literacy post, and I have learned a lot of things. Unfortunately, my English is too poor, and I can't understand many large English quotations, which is really a waste of good things ( ^_^). However, I suddenly remembered some words that our ancients said, which seems to be able to explain the difference between everyone's understanding of free economy and democratic system:
Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching": The
way of heaven, what is lost is more than what is lacking.
The way of man, otherwise, the damage is not enough and the service is more than enough.
Explained:
The law of nature is to make up for what is lacking when there is excess.
The secular practice of human society is not the same. It is to sacrifice poverty and insufficiency to sacrifice riches and honors.
Can everyone's differences be explained in this way? Children who believe in a free economy and a democratic system believe that they are in line with the way of heaven, have the ability to self-adjust and evolve, and eventually become perfect, but do not believe in or fully agree with a free economy and democratic system. He believes that these things are ultimately promoted by people, and due to human nature, the two still embody the way of people, and they need to intervene. Comparatively speaking, I agree with the latter. It is still a very difficult thing to fight against human nature.
When I mention these old sayings, I just feel that the original philosophical thoughts of our ancients seem to have something in common with many things we are in contact with now, including the film and its film review we are discussing. While admiring the ancients, I am The victory over humanity is still full of confidence.
