2. All in the world recognize the beautiful as beautiful
All in the world recognize the beautiful as beautiful.
Herein lies ugliness.
All recognize the good as good.
Herein lies evil.
Therefore
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficulty and ease bring about each other.
Long and short delimit eath other.
High and low rest on each other.
Sound and voice harmonize each other.
Front and back follow each other.
Therefore the sage abides in the condition of wu-wei (unattached action).
And carries out the wordless teaching.
Here, the myriad things are made, yet not separated.
Therefore the sage produces without possessing,
Acts without expectations
And accomplishes without abiding in her accomplishments.
It is precisely because she does not abide in them
That they never leave her.

Tao:
OMG the similarities between what I am reading
Present moment Wonderful moment “Thich Nhat Hanh”
(Buddhism)
Is incredible!
Like yin & yang.
They are closely connected in thought aren’t they?
Man0o-man, I do have some thinking to do.
(Again)
