so often, doing something is worse than doing nothing.
The Tao abides in non-action,
Yet nothing is left undone.
If kings and lords observed this,
The ten thousand things would develop naturally.
If they still desired to act,
They would return to the simplicity of formless substance.
Without form there is no desire.
Without desire there is tranquillity.
In this way all things would be at peace.
i think what laotzu is saying is probably Obama should’vebnleft the health care situation, screwed up as it was, alone.
Probably congress should consult the Tao Te Ching beforemaking any big movesfrom here on out…
