Do by not doing; Matter by not mattering; Flavor by not flavoring. Treat the small as great, the less as more; Answer an insult with acts of grace.

It is said that the wise can trek without encountering rhinos and tigers,
And can be drafted without worrying about arms.
For them, rhinos have nowhere to thrust their horns;
Tigers have nowhere to swipe their claws;
Soldiers have nowhere to slash their swords.
I’m kind to those who are kind, but also to the unkind; In the end, kindness holds.
I’m trusting to those who are trusting, but also to the untrusting; In the end, trust holds.
-Dao De Jing Chapter 49
Each day of studying the world leads you to more .
Each day of harmonizing with Dao inclines you to less .
Less, still less, until you do nothing.
Do nothing so that nothing is undone.

When you are aware of Dao, there’s nowhere you cannot go. But when you aren’t aware of Dao, there’s no place where you’ll be free.”

The pure and true appears cloudy;
The clearest also appears disdained;
The great square contains no corners;
The great vessel is unworked;
The grand music has little sound;
The grand shape has no form;
Dao is hidden, having no name.
It gives to all and by it all is sustained.
-Dao De Jing
Some hear about Dao and strive to practice it; Some hear about Dao and vacillate around it; Some hear about Dao and laugh at it. If it’s not laughed at, it isn’t worthy of being Dao.
