Be A Better And Happier You With TAO Wisdom
To live well as if everything
is a miracle, you need to know self, as well as others, in order to have better
human relationships, without which happiness is evasive and elusive.
Get the
ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu (what is
known as TAO wisdom), to see the interconnection of self and others. After all,
no man is an island, and we all are connected somehow and somewhat. We need to be aware of that.
Understanding that anything is everything may also make you
see things very differently. People and things do not exist independently; they
all exist with a reason; the reason may or may not be apparent to all of us.
When there is long, there has to be short; they do not exist simply because of
their own nature. Everything in life is not only relative but also related.
Viewing any life situation—whether it is good or bad—with this profound human
wisdom may help you see that anything is everything, In other words, any life
situation is not under its own power but depends on many present causes and
conditions, as well as many past causes and conditions; otherwise it could not
have come into being. With this perspective, you can see much more of the whole
picture, and thus you can see the reality of the situation.
Awareness of your own responsibility for humanity may enable
you to rein in your temper and inhibit your anger. Better understanding of
humanity lets you acknowledge the destructive forces of anger, and thereby
instrumental in reducing their strength. Your short temper can benefit from Tao
wisdom, which shows you the importance and necessity of embracing all—the easy
and the difficult, as well as the pleasant and the unpleasant. In life,
difficult and unpleasant experiences not only train but also enhance you mental
stability to control your temper, which often undermines your compassion for
others. Tao wisdom teaches you not to pick and choose but to embrace anything
and everything in life because any
situation in life can make you become either a teacher or a student. Life is
about anything and everything that you can learn from, and this is where true
wisdom comes from.
