Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Sixty-Nine

One who understands that quarrels will never solve anything,

Won’t start them anymore and prefers to wait

He rather takes a step back or retracts

That’s what people call winning by losing

Showing strength without impressing

Standing firm without starting a fight

Nothing is more disastrous than underestimating your enemy

One who underestimates his enemy exposes oneself to danger

Therefore he who’s driven by compassion

Is always the winner in a conflict

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.
