@onlywitheric: when my teachers made me read 古文 (ancient chinese text) back in middle school, all I remember thinking was "why can't these old dudes just write properly?" 8 years later & revisiting Lao Zi's (founder of Taoism) ideas, and I'm so grateful I was taught how to read and interact with these beautiful works in their purest form. A text written over 2000 years ago, and yet its teachings resonate more than ever. 81 short yet dense chapters containing an incredible selection of philosophies about life. #truthsaboutlife #mindsetshift #selfdevelopment #philosophy
