    no matter what meaning you assign to life, it is ever expanding and will go beyond your ability to name it

    Who cares if theres a reason why you're alive. Cause if you spend your life trying to find out, your gonna miss out. And in the end, no matter what road you take, you die. Even if there was a reason why you were born, it's not like if you dont complete your "mission" you get punished. So all in all, live life the way you want to.

    Heaven and earth are impartial;

    they see the universe as a straw dog.

    The sage is non-judgmental;

    he treats all his people as straw dogs.

    The sage is like heaven and earth:

    To him none are especially dear,

    nor is there anyone he disfavors.

    He gives and gives, without condition,

    offering his treasures to everyone.

    Between heaven and earth

    is a space like void;

    empty and inexhaustible,

    the more it is used, the more it produces.

    Hold on to the center.

    Man was made to sit quietly and find

    the truth within.

    Lao-tzu

    Honestly, I am not sure exactly what this means but I find it compelling and I can't stop coming back to it. It is thought producing. I never heard of the author before. I have already Googled him.

    Thank you very much for this gem.

    I read the Tao Te Ching a few months ago. That shit is dense. There's hundreds of interpretations you can draw from a single line.

    Good read.

    the secret of life is to enjoy it the good and the bad times. You are top of the pole one day and down in the shitter the next. theres always hard times but when you get through em its like you have a new outlook on yourself. ENJOY life stop and smell the roses on the way to school enjoy their beauty and short life. Enjoy the short time with the people you spend it with they are also the secret of life, enjoy those around you wether i be from a human all the way down to a fish. God is great, Beer is good, and People are crazy. AMurica!
