“Stop trying to be holy. Stop making rules for behavior. Stop demanding that people behave according to your wishes. Stop seeking privilege and profit. Stop trying to be clever. If you stop these fruitless pursuits, people will naturally find kindness, compassion, and right action arising in their hearts. If you don’t know what to do, just stay quiet, see without judgment, and live with simplicity. Things will take their course.“ The Tao Te Ching (translation by William Martin) https://beingwalter.com/2357/hopeless/ #tao-te-ching #expectation #behavior #kindness #heart #quiet #simple
