「天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已」
“When everyone in the world knows what is beautiful, ugliness exists”
—— 道德经天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已——老子不是道德打分，而是命名相互依存。阴阳路径第二步：在讲「和」之前，先看见两极同生。审美、成功、身份一旦只剩一种「美」，阴影标签就会变硬。今日：追逐公认之美前，先看被要求排斥什么。
When the world agrees on a label called “beautiful,” its pair—“ugly”—is already born. Laozi is not scoring morality; he names interdependence. On EastSage’s Yin-Yang path, step two after the concept: see poles arise together before you preach harmony. Beauty trends harden shadow categories—careers, bodies, nations. Today: before you chase the approved label, notice what you are asked to reject.
