"In early ancient mankind, Tao has been in existence in one's true nature.
Men possess It without knowing.
One then acts with virtue and honor which is inferior to Tao.
The less superior is to act with fear.
And the least superior is to act with disgrace.
This occurs because one does not have enough faith, and hence has no confidence.
The nature of Tao is distinguished by wordless teaching with the natural act of virtue without
action.
As such, people would act effortlessly and harmonize with the Nature Tao." -Chapter 17

In this life, everyone is just trying to discover new ways to mask our past disappointments and our own individual despair.
Life isn't about finding happiness or a purpose.
It's about suffering, then finding ways to keep our minds occupied to cope with what can't be undone."
