Now we embark in a brand new journey. Woo! The Tao Te Ching. The idea of a new different theory of believes and teachings do sound a bit scary but after being introduced it isn’t so bad. Its short, its simple and is not SOO repetitive. Therefore I am happy. In the beginning I did feel like I was stuck in Harry Potter. He who can’t be named, oh scary. Nevertheless I disagree with the idea of not being able to name such who has done greatness and perfect, makes no sense at all. I would like to honor you and praise you for all that you have done with my life, but I can’t say your name. Then how am I supposed to thank you. Everything and everyone has a name, give me yours. It is really not a big deal. Gosh. For now I shall call it/him John Doe.
As I red on, I found several passages that described the Primal Virtue, so early into the book we are introduced to the Heavenly destination one must arrive. It is more of a state that would make you unique and worthy upon John Doe. Such virtue describes the point where you are sinless, as if you where just born and you had not done anything wrong. The way I see it, it can be considered a state of peace, not only with yourself but with everyone around you.
I did find an intriguing axiom form the reading,
“No fight: No blame.” (Chapter 8)
What I could understand from this short axiom is that if you don’t fight, if you are a peace you will not have anyone, anything to blame. And there will be type of need to blame other for anything. If there is not a fight, then you should not be blamed, nor blame someone else for something that “doesn’t happen”. It tells us not to fight, for as no one will remain with the guilt.
To conclude, I am happy with my reading, and very tired of homework. Goodnight and farewell.
