I am a thief!

Well sorta, I read about a book of essays coming out on the Tao Te Ching(tarnslation The Book of the Way)originally written by Lao-tzu and decided to incorporate a similar idea into my blog. I will start my daily blogs with one of the 81 writings and go from there. This is a experiment and may conclude prior to 81 days but we shall see.

1: The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name taht can be named is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness.
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understandings.

What does this mean to me? Funny, before I began writing today I was thinking; "ignorance is bliss" just randomly. I think this is along those lines. I revert back to the fine example of the animal kingdom and how gracefully they interact and coincide. Lions are very capable of killing as many gazelle as they want yet they only kill that necessary to satisfy their hunger allowing the others to graze peacfully without disturbance. The majority of society doesnt see this simplicity in life and abide by it. We want more and more even though we havent even used what it is we have. I am not free from this fault. This weekend I bought 6 new books and I have plenty of books in my possesion which I have yet to read. This has to do with desire. We so desire to be admired and accepted by others. I personally have striggled my whole life to simply accept myself and truly I believe we all are at the core. How can others accept you for who you are when you are being who you arent in order to be excepted? This life is a journey and we are constantly learning as we grow but the vast majority of information we discover is wrong. The hardest thing to do is actually unlearn all the bullshit we have become believers in and live outside the box of societys ideals. Like I said will use Tao Te Ching as a smple stepping stone to my random rants. Hope this made a bit of sense and can be an inspiration to some. If you arent tied down or settled in and are capable I say save some money and take a risk. We only get one shot in this body to live, make the most of it. Fuck th boring as societal grind that is change it up. Break the fuck out. I declare toady that I wont be a suit. If I do join the business world post college it will be mine. Working for me will kick serious ass too.

I say what people think.-Noeledge
