The world has seemed quite bleak lately. Everywhere I look on the internet I find more hatred and division and fear. The upcoming US Midterm elections are probably a significant contributor.
So I went back to re-read the Tao te Ching. I’m an atheist and I do not believe in the Tao as a sort of mystical entity, but it’s really easy to just ignore those parts. There’s a lot of really great wisdom in the verses. The first time I read it, I wondered whether the author may have been an autistic person who added the mystical bits to overcome the double-empathy problem and share their worldview with allistic people.
