Today I got to speak with Felicia who chose #53 and a new face to the Tao of the Day, Praise Mugwiza, chose #7 for his first round of wisdom. Before all of that I chose to read #75 which was what I read with my buddy Kelley Kelley last night.
#7 "The Wisdom of Not Having Preference"
Tao is infinite
It doesn’t grow old or tired.
Because it has no preference for itself
It can always persist.
The Master puts herself last
And always finds herself first.
By being detached from preference
She can give herself to what is
And find fulfillment there.
#53 "Tao is Easy"
There is nothing simpler than to walk the way of Tao
The only thing you’d fear is getting sidetracked
And yet many people think there is an easier way.
They pacify themselves with possessions and entertainment
Distracting themselves enough to never see their bankrupt lives.
They continue to acquire and convince others to join them in struggle.
Everyone eating and drinking yet consumed by starvation and thirst.
Excess is a thief, and the victim is the true self.
This is not easy, this is not Tao.
#75 "There Needs to be a Purpose"
People are starved for purpose because everything they do is taxed.
That being so, why would they venture to do anything?
By being intrusive governments corral their people
Forcing them to “Make a Living,” instead of simply living.
People have no purpose when their purpose is appointed.
Without purpose, why would they want to live?
All of this is intrusive meddling
It robs people of their lives and
Lines the pockets of those in authority.
