LAO TZU: Watering your dreams
Lao Tzu
is said to be the founder of Taoism (although it’s disputed he ever
lived at all) – an opposite set of beliefs from Confucianism, which was
also invented around the same time (approx 500BC). Confucius placed
emphasis on moral actions towards others, whereas Taoism was more
concerned with self-discovery, inward reflection, simplicity and
adapting to circumstances around you. Or so I think anyway, I could be
wrong. The only thing I know about Taoism was that Bruce Lee studied it
and he mentioned it a lot in his writings and teachings. However, the
main concepts of
tao,
wu,
wu-wei and
fu
are still beyond me – if anyone has a good beginner’s guide to Taoism
they can recommend, I’m all ears. Having said that, this is such a great
quote – worry, fear, negativity – these things never really help a
situation, do they?
UPDATE: After further research and feedback from
readers, it’s most likely this is misattributed to Lao Tzu. If anyone
knows the real source, please let me know.
