If you really want everything, then give up everything.
Things exalted then decay. This is going against the Way. What goes against the Way meets an early end.
The way of heaven is to help and not harm.
Truth sounds paradoxical!
The rigid tree will be felled.
My own words are not the medicine, but a prescription; not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth. Don't analyze the Tao. Strive instead to live it: silently, undividedly, with your whole harmonious being.
