Have much and be confused.
-Tao Te Ching
Here's a nice quick one for you on this beautiful Saturday. I hope this weekend finds you, dear reader, in great spirits.
This passage hearkens back to a previous post a few days ago which mentions, "Toss away stuff you don't need in the end." Said quote can be taken as sound advice while today's quote gives reason for such action. "Have much and be confused." Fair enough. And I agree. Though my practice of this featured advice could use some serious revision. Because in reality I truly "have too much." Too many physical objects compound the space you inhabit and can also provide unwanted distraction. So take a moment some time, and throw some crap away. It may do your brain some good.
The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text written somewhere between the 4th and 6th centuries B.C. Authorship is generally credited to ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu (my boy!) although this subject is still debated by some scholars.
