Thirty spokes are joined in the wheel's hub. The hole in the middle makes it useful. Mold clay into a bowl. The empty space makes it useful. Cut out doors and windows for the house. The holes make it useful. Therefore, the value comes from what is there, But the use comes from what is not there. https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-11.htm

She speaks water - 183Aaros If water was a language, she whispers above the earth, her sound jumping on the rocks, flying, shouting through the tunnels, every request of the nature, she responds, everywhere she went to, she embraces

When everyone in the world sees beauty, Then ugly exists. When everyone sees good, Then bad exists. Therefore: What is and what is not create each other. Difficult and easy complement each other. Tall and short shape each other. High and low rest on each other. Voice and tone blend with each other. First and last follow each other. So, the sage acts by doing nothing, Teaches without speaking, Attends all things without making claim on them, Works for them without making them dependent, Demands no honor for his deed. Because he demands no honor, He will never be dishonored. https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-02.htm

The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of all things. Therefore: Free from desire you see the mystery. Full of desire you see the manifestations. These two have the same origin but differ in name. That is the secret, The secret of secrets, The gate to all mysteries. https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-01.htm

Attain utmost emptiness. Abide in steadfast stillness. All things arise in unison. Thereby we see their return. All things flourish, And each returns to its source. Returning to the source is stillness. It is returning to one's fate. Returning to one's fate is eternal. Knowledge of the eternal is realization. Not knowing of the eternal leads to unfortunate errors. Knowledge of the eternal is all-embracing. To be all-embracing leads to righteousness, Which is majestic. To be majestic leads to the Heavenly. To be Heavenly leads to the Way. The Way is eternal. Until your last day, you are free from peril.

The Way is ever without action, Yet nothing is left undone. If princes and kings can abide by this, All things will form themselves. If they form themselves and desires arise, I subdue them with nameless simplicity. Nameless simplicity will indeed free them from desires. Without desire there is stillness, And the world settles by itself. https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-37.htm

What should be shrunken must first be stretched. What should be weakened must first be strengthened. What should be abolished must first be cherished. What should be deprived must first be enriched. This is called understanding the hidden. The soft and weak overcome the hard and strong. The fish cannot leave the deep waters. The state's weaponry should not be displayed. https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-36.htm

Heavy is the root of light. Stillness is the ruler of haste. Therefore: Although he travels all day, The sage never loses sight of his luggage carts. Only when he rests securely inside the walls, He relaxes his attention. Why would a ruler with ten thousand chariots Look lightly on himself or his domain? In lightness the root is lost. In haste the ruler is lost. https://www.taoistic.com/taoteching-laotzu/taoteching-26.htm

your reputation or your health? your body or your stuff? gain or lose? Attach too much to something, and you'll end up spending a lot on it. Collect too much of something, and you'll end up losing a lot. Knowing what is enough, then you won't be confused. Realise when to stop, then you won't be abused. This is the way to have a long and peaceful future.

When the wisest hear the Dao, they pack up their package and embark on the path of seeking the Dao. When the normies hear the Dao, they may grasp a fragment of its meaning but eventually let it slip away. A fool who hears of the Dao may laugh out loud or even mock it. If the Dao is not laughed at, it would not be worthy of being the Dao. Thus, the brightest path seems dim, the way forward appears to lead backwards, and the most righteous path could also be the most challenging.
