Lesson 16: Doing Nothing
The Tao often does nothing, and does not think. If the prince can keep it, all things will be self-made and will not be done. I will take the town as the nameless simplicity, and the town as the nameless simplicity. The husband will also have no desire, it is better to be quiet, and the world will be self-determined.
If the prince can keep it, all things will be self-made and do nothing: if the king can keep quiet, that is, cultivate morality, and the king cultivates, then the ministers and the people will follow the cultivation of virtue, and if they do not destroy the natural environment, all things will evolve naturally, without any external interference, then all things will naturally multiply and grow and flourish.
Man is the spirit of all things, and the power to intervene in all things is very great, and the destruction is naturally very powerful. The intervention of other species is not very powerful. The Tao gives birth to all things, and man and all things are interdependent on the food chain. The food chain is linked to a link, all things must maintain ecological balance, species can not be eliminated casually, humans kill a large number of wild animals, eliminate species at will, which will lead to the lack of food chain, if the ecological imbalance, will affect the survival of all things.
How to maintain ecological balance? Lao Tzu pointed out here that he wanted the prince to lead everyone to cultivate morality and get rid of selfish desires, so that they would not destroy all things, not destroy the ecological balance, all things would be liberated, and without any external interference, all things would naturally evolve.
Quiet and unhurried
