Wenn ich loslasse,
was ich bin,
werde ich,
was ich sein könnte.

#Laotse

Laotse im Schwarzwald? Egal, Hauptsache, kein heideggerscher Holzweg! #Laotse #Heidegger #Schwarzwald #MariaLindenberg #Freiburg

Geht der große SINN zugrunde,
so gibt es Sittlichkeit und Pflicht.
Kommen Klugheit und Wissen auf,
so gibt es die großen Lügen.
Werden die Verwandten uneins,
so gibt es Kindespflicht und Liebe.
Geraten die Staaten in Verwirrung,
so gibt es die treuen Beamten.

Es wird oft #Laotse zugesprochen, aber einen genauen Ursprung kann ich dir leider nicht nennen.

> .. the whirlwind that blows things around as though they were bugs, does not last the morning.
Neither does the sudden storm last the day.
--- William Scott Wilson translation

> A whirlwind doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day

Staycation, Stay-at-home support:
> You can know the world without going out. You can know the nature without looking out of the window. The farther you go out, the less you can know. So the saint who knows “the way” knows everything without going out, understands everything without seeing and does everything without doing.
>玄関から出ずに世界の事を知り、窓から外を観ないで自然の摂理を知る。遠くへ出かければ出かける程に解る事は少なくなって行く。だから「道」を知った聖人は何処へも行かずに全てを知り、何も見ずに全てを理解し、何もせずに全てを成し遂げる。

Activity beats cold
Calm and Quiet beats heat.

#Laotse: "Der Sprechende mag ein Narr sein. Hauptsache der Zuhörer ist weise."

@AJR: "Da ist man als Autor fein raus."

> Courtesy was made up after losing sincerity and honesty. Courtesy is the very cause that is confusing the world. If you teach benevolence, justice and courtesy with knowledge to people, they will become fools. So a person with true virtue chooses sincerity, not knowledge. He chooses a fruit, not flowers which only look beautiful. He chooses “the way”, not benevolence, justice and courtesy which only sound nice.

> Therefore when Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is kindness.
When kindness is lost, there is justice.
When justice is lost, there is ritual.
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion.

> Thus, when the Tao was lost, the Magick Powers appeared; then, by successive degradations, came Benevolence, Justice, Convention.

> Practice non-action.
Work without doing.
Taste the tasteless.
Magnify the small, increase the few.
Reward the bitterness with care.

Comparing translations leaves a lot of leeway in the search for meaning.

An old collection of essay, #TowardLiberalArts, has a work by #GeorgeHedley, #FrontiersOfReligion. A search got me to the #Harpers site but the articleis behind a subscribe paywall. The essay has some great lines about #religion and even mentioned #LaoTse.. I can't find anything but this one link about the Bible's Greek for "Don't be #anxious" :
> When he says, do not trouble yourself, the Greek literally reads, “Do not skin yourself.”

#Bible #translation #Anxiety

'Thy words are like a cloud of winged snakes;
And yet I pity those they torture not.' is the response of #Promethesu to the #Fury in #PrometheusUnbound .. Like #LaoTse , #LaoTzu says, it's best to be little confused I guess, questioning..

"つまだつ者は立っておれず、
踏みはだかる者は歩けない。
己れを誇示すれば、その存在も明らかでなくなり、
己れを是しとすれば、その善も彰れなくなる。
己れの功を自慢すれば、その功も台なしになり、
己れをうぬぼれれば、間もなく行き詰まる。
このような不自然な行為をこそ、無為の大道においては、
食い残しの飯、無用の振舞いとよぶのだ。
誰もが常に嫌がって見むきもしないから、
有道者はそこに身をおかないのだ。"

#反戦 、 #非戦 の #老子31 と 同じ文があるらしい、 #戦争 は #威張る ためにやるから関連があるかな？

"背伸びをしようと爪先立ちをしている者は長く立っていられない。早く歩こうと大股で歩く者は長く歩いていられない。自分が目立とうとする者は誰からも注目されないし、自分の意見を押し付ける様な者は人から認められない。自分の功績を自慢する様な者は人から称えられないし、この様な者は長続きしない。こういう人間の行為を「道」の観点から言うと「余計な食べ物、余計な振る舞い」と言うのである。誰もがお腹一杯食べた後にさらに食べたいと思わない様に、「道」を知った人間はそんな事はしないものだ。"

"You can not continue standing on tiptoe or striding for a long time. People do not pay attention to a person who tries to attract them. People do not agree with a person who justifies himself. People do not praise a person who boasts of himself. An arrogant person can not last a long time... People do not want to eat after getting full. So a person who knows “the way” never conducts such a waste."
