Project Tao Te Ching
The following verses appealed to my mood today. Don't ask why.
The most submissive thing in the world can ride roughshod over the most unyielding in the world - that which is without substance entering that which has no gaps. That is why I know the benefit of taking no action. The teaching that uses no words, the benefit of taking no action, these are beyond the understanding of all but a very few in the world. There is no crime greater than being desirable; there is no disaster greater than not being content; there is no misfortune more painful than being covetous: hence, in knowing the sufficiency of being content, one will constantly have sufficient. The benefit of taking no action. No disaster greater than not being content.
