Tao Te Ching

Tao Te Ching is a foundational text of 道教 and Chinese philosophy attributed to 老子. It is a poetic and enigmatic guide to living in harmony with the 道, or the Way, which represents the natural order of the universe. The text emphasizes simplicity, humility, and non-action as means to align with the flow of life.

What I found compelling was its invitation to face complexity by embracing paradox and to find strength in softness. The Tao Te Ching offers a radically different approach to power and control—showing that true mastery comes from yielding and balance.
