Don't spend too much time thinking about stupid shit - Lao Tzu

My brother sent me this brilliant version of the Tao Te Ching today. May you enjoy it as much as I did.

1.

If you can talk about it,

it ain't Tao.

If it has a name,

it's just another thing.

Tao doesn't have a name.

Names are for ordinary things.

Stop wanting stuff;

it keeps you from seeing what's real.

When you want stuff,

all you see are things.

Those two sentences

mean the same thing.

Figure them out,

and you've got it made.
