Tao Te Ching, Chapter 44 (Paraphrase)

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 44 Paraphrase by Derek Lin We paraphrase a chapter to demonstrate a complete understanding of the chapter by expressing the original meaning in our own words. Chapter 44: People seem so fixated on the pursuit of fame, but is it as important as the health and well being of oneself? They seem even more obsessed about the pursuit of material wealth, but is that worth the compromise of one’s integrity? The usual assumption is that losing fame and fortune must be painful, but what about the price you pay in gaining them? When you become obsessed with something, you invariably must pay a price for the obsession. When you hoard too much of anything, it is inevitable that you will end up suffering some kind of loss, whether through theft or damage. The Tao of contentment is all about knowing that you already possess more than enough, and you already have absolutely everything you need. The Tao of life is also about knowing the right time to stop any endeavor. These may seem like simple ideas, but they will bring joy to your life that you will find fulfilling, constant and everlasting. ——————————————————— “Tao Te Ching” by Derek Lin.
