@cogito.rebellion: 🌊 laozi (also written lao tzu) is the legendary chinese philosopher traditionally credited as the author of the tao te ching, the foundational text of taoism. __ the key principles of taoism: - tao (the way): an indescribable, underlying natural order that shapes everything. to follow the tao is to act in harmony with life’s flow. - wu wei (effortless action): the practice of doing without forcing; allowing things to unfold naturally rather than through aggression or struggle. - simplicity: a return to an uncluttered, humble way of living that keeps the mind clear and the heart calm. - naturalness (ziran): being true to one’s nature; not pretending, not striving, not distorting oneself for external expectations. - compassion: one of the “three treasures”; treating others with gentleness and empathy. - moderation: avoiding extremes in desire, behaviour, and emotion; staying centred. - humility: embracing softness, yielding, and quiet strength rather than domination or ego. - emptiness: valuing the open, receptive mind, like an empty vessel, which can receive wisdom and see clearly. - non-attachment: letting go of rigid desires, judgments and control; allowing peace to arise naturally. #laozi #taoism #philosophy #easternphilosophy #dailyquotes
