Wanting without Grasping - Taoism

There is a force in us without which nothing would ever be done. It moves us to begin, to build, to love, to hope. It carries us out ahead of ourselves, toward what does not yet exist and what we long to see come into being.

We call this force desire. Without it, we would stay still, watching the world go by, never once taking part in it.

Welcome back to Life Wisdom, hosted by Substack bestseller author Chen Li, from Words of Taoism.
