Taoism. A few thoughts

Tweet

Taoism is mainly double meaning, and yet when it talks about love, there is no double entendre. Here are a few more ideas from Taoism. He who knows, speaks wisely. He who does not know, speaks foolishly. He who never speaks, is more often an ignorant person, than a fool. When I stop trying to be who I am not, I become who I am. Just be. The lovingness of emptiness ensures the fullness of the loving, but the emptiness of non loving ensures the emptiness is just emptiness, and never becomes the fullness of loving either. He who conquers others is a fool, but someone who tries to conquer themselves, is a double fool. Our self never needs conquering. Just be that real self, and let all other selves go. When we try to take the easier path, we make it harder. The path is what it is. If we do not trust anyone, no-one will trust us either. Give everyone the benefit of trust, in the first instance. He who hoards possessions has nothing. He who gives to others has everything. If everyone sees only love, non-love would cease to exist. Strength comes from weakness, not from strength. Real strength is weakness strengthened by love. The greatest love needs nothing else but itself. Love comes to you through loving, not by seeking love, through non-loving ways. Love never lacks, nor exhausts itself from its loving. Photo Credit: The photo used in this article was sourced from the free media site, pixabay.com If you are a lizard, be a loving lizard.
