Have nothing

If you want to have the whole world, have nothing. If you are always busy doing something, you cannot enjoy the world.

Tao Te Ching trans. John R Mabry

Be Real

Forget 'holiness', abandon 'intelligence' and people will be a hundred times better off.
Give up 'humanitarianism', put away 'righteousness' and people will discover brotherly love and kindness.
Forget 'great art', throw away 'profit' and there will be no more thieves.
These things are superficial and are simply not enough.
People need something solid to hold on to.
And here it is:

Be real.

Embrace simplicity.

Put others first.

Desire little.

John R Mabry "The Little Book of the Tao Te Ching" page 17

Return to simplicity

Let people return to simplicity, working with their own hands.
Then they will find joy in their food
Beauty in their simple clothes
Peace in their living
Fulfillment in their traditions.

John R Mabry in "The little book of The Tao Te Ching"

The World is Sacred

Do you want to own the World and improve it?

I don't think you can.

You see the World is sacred.
It can't be improved upon.
If you try you will ruin it.
If you try to own it,
You will lose it.
