Tao of the Day

Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Thirty-Six

Only what’s stretched out can be pulled together
Only what’s fortified can be weakened
Only what’s increased can be decreased
Only one who has, can lose
That must be clear
Soft overcomes hard
Weak overcomes strong
Fishes belong in water
Weapons have to be destroyed

Additional Info

Tao of the Day is a site for all things related to the Tao (also spelled Dao). We'll cover the entire Tao Te Ching several times each year, with one chapter being the center of attention each day. You can always comment on past days, but let's try to keep it flowing as the days progress.
