#TTC Chapter 11 Sorry for the delay people! Here's the eleventh chapter of the #TaoTeChing. Let me know your thoughts in the comments or at http://waterpigs.co.uk/tao-te-ching/chapters/11/

Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.

Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore benefit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

#TTC Chapter 7

Here's the 7th chapter of the #TaoTeChing. Let me know what you think it means in the comments or at http://waterpigs.co.uk/tao-te-ching/chapters/7/

Heaven and Earth last forever.
Why do heaven and Earth last forever?
They are unborn, So ever living.

The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead.

He is detached, thus at one with all.
Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.
