there are so many around right now
saying they cannot deal with their lives
it is not what they say
not what I say
writing a paper on Taoism
difficult to understand
“Tao is eternal and has no name. Though its simplicity seems insignificant, none of this world can master it.” (Tao 32).
many of the things over the head
of an average reader
some might stop
I won’t
taking the time to study
how simple it actually is
many things so complicated
discouragingly enough –
“Doctrines are very easy to understand and easy to practice, but none in the world can understand or practice them.” (Tao 70).
this seems to discourage
who is trying to learn and understand
this is why I am comparing it’s philosophy
to another
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
I suggest these two books
and leave you with that…
