I wouldn't bother asking today's chinese about how Laozi did it. They are an entirely different species of creatures.

This is what happens when a brainlet tries to read something advanced. But don't quit trying.

post one contradiction from the dao de jing

>> No.21870020

>>21870010
The partial becomes complete; the crooked, straight; the empty, full; the worn out, new. He whose (desires) are few gets them; he whose (desires) are many goes astray.

2. Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of humility), and manifests it to all the world. He is free from self-display, and therefore he shines; from self-assertion, and therefore he is distinguished; from self-boasting, and therefore his merit is acknowledged; from self-complacency, and therefore he acquires superiority. It is because he is thus free from striving that therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him.

>> No.21870036

>>21870020
so according to you all change is contradiction? according to you, if people bend to you because you are humble, that is a contradiction? all this is basic logic, I don't see any contradictions here.

I really enjoyed his concept of the 'uncarved wooden block'.

It makes me want to buy one + a carving knife just to leave it on my desk. It's the potential of the block to be something which gives it significance, but the moment you begin to carve something, the infinite possibilities are no more.

Why don't Asians believe in identity? A = A is literally nonsensical to them.

I don't see the contradiction.
The first line is your typical life advice mumbo, the second line is about humility. There's no contradiction in either.

I'm not sure what you mean. "right" and "wrong" are secondary labels applied to phenomena. Phenomena change, therefore why shouldn't the right and wrong courses of action?
