Daodejing - Other Voices
Frank and to the point, chapter 29 says "Just Be". (Not that we have any choice, but do not spend time trying to force or control.)This post is part of a series. For an introduction, go here.
"When you see people trying to shape and control the world, you notice they never succeed."
"For some time food will be plenty and people will become fat, yet during this time others will starve."
"For time some will become rich, yet they do this by leaving others with nothing."
Should you live with simple means, you will find great pleasure in life. In time your pleasure will amplify as you see that you allowed others to do the same.
