Chapter Fifty

Humans come and go

Their bodies as the seat of life

Their bodies as the seat of death

Humans get old and decay

Why is that?

It’s because they are already dead, but think that they’re living

There have been stories told and written about people who had found true life

And wandered around the earth

Not afraid of tigers or rhinos

Those who avoided weapons and violence

And lived in harmony with all creatures

Therefore no creature felt threatened by them

And no weapon could harm them

Why is that?

Because they were only living

And that’s where there is no room for death

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.
