Tao / Jones

Peter Jones September 22, 2008Wu Wei

Tao Te Ching verse 53

the great way is easy
yet people prefer the side paths
be aware when things are out of balance
stay centered within the tao
when rich speculators prosper
while farmers lose their land
when government officials spend money
on weapons instead of cures
when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible
while the poor have nowhere to turn-
all this is robbery and chaos
it is not in keeping with the tao
