I alone have the mind of a fool, and am all muddled and vague. The people are so smart and bright. While I am just dull and confused.
LaoziOne who lives in accordance with nature does not go against the way of things but moves in harmony with the present moment.
LaoziThe heavy is the root of the light. The unmoved is the source of all movement. Thus the Master travels all day without leaving home. However splendid the views, she stays serenely in herself. Why should the lord of the country flit about like a fool? If you let yourself be blown to and fro, you lose touch with your root. If you let restlessness move you, you lose touch with who you are.
Laozi
