  1. #TTC Chapter 19 A nice one today. Let me know what you think it means in the comments or at http://waterpigs.co.uk/tao-te-ching/chapters/19/ --- Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom, And it will be a hundred times better for everyone. Give up kindness, renounce morality, And men will rediscover filial piety and love. Give up ingenuity, renounce profit, And bandits and thieves will disappear. These three are outward forms alone; they are not sufficient in themselves. It is more important To see the simplicity, To realise one's true nature, To cast off selfishness And temper desire. --- #taoTeChing #taoism #philosophy

    Chapter 19

    A nice one today. Let me know what you think it means in the comments or at http://waterpigs.co.uk/tao-te-ching/chapters/19/

    Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom, And it will be a hundred times better for everyone.

    Give up kindness, renounce morality, And men will rediscover filial piety and love.

    Give up ingenuity, renounce profit, And bandits and thieves will disappear.

    These three are outward forms alone; they are not sufficient in themselves.
    It is more important To see the simplicity,
    To realise one's true nature,

    To cast off selfishness And temper desire.
