Dao de Jing / Tao te Ching 35/81

But which is more virtuous, Laozi? I think Laozi prefers the inaction of the sage. But are the distractions an accident? He has already condemned travel as pointless. What if its the opposite? What if travel, food, and all the trappings of the NPC are really the point of it all? Eternity is ahead of us And behind And within But unseen Which is more illusory? The pervasive Or the temporal? #Philosophy #daoism #taoism
