Good fortune is multiplied by our effort, not added to it. If your effort is zero and you multiply it, the outcome is still zero. In the end, you’ve gained nothing.
The reason people fall into bad relationships is that their expectations are too high. Just wanting to get things from other people blinds you. If, on the other hand, you have the attitude that ‘I’ll be the first to give’ or ‘I’ll give more than I get’, you can avoid bad relationships and enter good ones.
People need to treat valuable relationships as precious, but if that attitude spills over to bad relationships, misfortune will follow. In a lot of cases, people’s good or bad fortune is decided by their relationships with others. Just as good fortune comes through gui-in, misfortune comes through bad relationships.
