A picture I took of the pages I opened when grabbing the book. Alt Text created by Gemini; A close-up, top-down view of an open book titled "The Daodejing of Laozi," translated by Philip J. Ivanhoe. The pages shown are Chapter 67, which discusses the "three treasures" (loving-kindness, frugality, and humility), and Chapter 68, about the "virtue of noncontention." In the background, a bookshelf holds various titles including "Lord of the Flies" and "25 Eeuwen Westerse Filosofie."
A picture I took of the cover of the book “The Daodejing of Laozi” Alt Text created by Gemini: The front cover of the book "The Daodejing of Laozi," featuring translation and commentary by Philip J. Ivanhoe. The cover has a tan, textured background with a traditional Chinese ink wash painting of a mountain landscape and small red seal stamps in the corner. A hand is holding the bottom left corner of the book.
As I’m cleaning & ordering my bookcases sometimes a book opens at a random page and I read it.
This one made me pause and ponder on the situation our global society is in 🥺 #FoodForThought

Au IVe s. av. JC, Zhuangzi prolonge Laozi. Là où le « Daodejing » attribué au vieux sage expose des principes brefs, le « Zhuangzi » en explore les implications par paraboles, sans tomber dans les rigidités doctrinales qui caractérisent souvent les « continuateurs ».
