I wish you luck and happiness in your quest to follow the Tao Te Ching (DAO DEH JEENG) or “Tao Virtue Book’. Jen (Jackson) bought me ‘The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet’ many years ago and I subsequently bought the Tao Te Ching and read that too. Some things are easy for me to accept such as the idea that the more we interfere with the universal laws (including the balance of nature) the more we will struggle and the less joy we experience. However, I find it harder to practise the concept of observing things ‘as they are’ without judging them as good or bad (including people) even though I know it is the best way to achieve happiness. I am always fighting for causes and can’t make the concept fit in with this. Maybe at the end of your journey you will have some thoughts that might make sense of it for me or maybe it is one of those things I need to answer for myself. I hope you emerge being more like Pooh (who just is) than Tigger who I seem destined to be until I exhaust myself with bouncing.
