Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Seventy-Two

When people have forgotten what to be afraid of,

They will live in vague fear

Why do they come to terms with this miserable way of living?

Why don’t they see the beauty of life?

Why are they so scared of escaping their rut?

One who is wise understands this, and won’t flaunt it

He enjoys it but doesn’t consider it as his own merit

He abandons his old way of living and embraces true life
