Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Forty-Four

What comes first, life or status?

What’s more important to you, yourself or your possessions?

What’s worse, having or losing?

One who wants a lot pays a high price

One who has a lot, has a lot to lose

But one who is satisfied knows neither fear nor disgrace

And one who has stopped playing a part in the game will never be afraid again and will live happily ever after

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.
