Taoist by Chung Tzu
The Taoist acts without stops,
Harming nothing,
Yet never thinks about
Compassion.
The Taoist does not work at gain
Yet does not value poverty.
The Taoist acts without stops,
Self-reliant,
Yet with no pride
In going it alone.
The Taoist stays anonymous.
Virtue is its own reward.
No self is the self.
The greatest person is nobody.

“As we live and as we are, Simplicity - with a capital “S” - is difficult to comprehend nowadays. We are no longer truly simple. We no longer live in simple terms or places. Life is a more complex struggle now. It is now valiant to be simple: a courageous thing to even want to be simple. It is a spiritual thing to comprehend what simplicity means.”
