A Better and Happier
You
There is an old Latin axiom: “nemo dat quod non habet” — meaning, one cannot give what one does
not have.
If you don’t have the wisdom to know your real self, you
won’t have the wisdom to understand others, especially who they are and what
they need. In order to understand others to have better human relationships,
you must first and foremost have the wisdom attained through asking
self-intuitive questions throughout your life.
Then, with mindfulness, you observe with a nonjudgmental
mind what is happening to you, as well as around you. Gradually, you will be
able to see things as what they really are, and not as what they may seem to
you: anything and everything in life follows its own natural cycle, just as the
day becomes night, and the night transformed into dawn. With that wisdom, you
may become enlightened, which means you begin to know your true self—what you have and what you don’t have, and you were
created to be who you are, and not what you wish you were or want to become.
Knowing what you have, you can then give it to others. It is the giving, rather
than the receiving, that will make you become a better and happier you.
Yes, TAO wisdom can make you become a better and happier individual.
