"When people lose sight of the Tao,
codes of morality and justice are created.
When cleverness and strategies are in use,
hypocrites are everywhere.
When families forego natural harmony,
parents become pious and children
become dutiful.
When the nation is reigned by darkness,
patriotic advisers abound."
When the darkness deepens, how do I find my way through? When I don't see the light, how do I follow it? Or how do I know it hasn't blinded me already, as if the good things were just too much and more than I deserved?
If my losses can set me free, then how can I know my freedom? Maybe the key is to stop looking and let it come.
