bluegreen17 | the high level

kuro_neko pointed the way to this article by wo dozi in qi magazine about lao zi who wrote the dao te ching, and this is my favorite part of the article:

He saw everyone fighting for whatever they wanted. The high level is not fighting and taking what you want. It is giving. The highest level is to be nothing and let everything happen. The more you let go, the more you survive. Nature is just like that. It does not fight; it does not want; it is just there. This is the natural way and the more powerful way.
