Tao-te Ching. Book of the Way. By Lao Tzu. Existence Everyone knows goodness to be goodness, and to know this is to know what is not good. Similarly, existence implies non-existence; We recognize what is long by comparison with what is short. The highest good may be likened to water. Water benefits all creatures yet does not strive or argue with them. It rests content in those lowly places which others despise. It is a virtue in a house that it stand firm upon the ground. It is a virtue in a man that his thoughts should be profound. In speech, it is a virtue to utter truths. Can you penetrate all quarters and understand all creatures, and yet not interfere? Very well then: quicken them, nourish them; Give life to them, but make no claim on them. Be chief among them, but do not order them about. This is to use the Mysterious Power. Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Dont resist them, that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. Lao Tzu.
