Tao Te Ching 🧵
Stephen Mitchell translation
Ch. 1
The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin of all particular things.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations
Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.

How did I never learn about the Nazi collaborators attempting to take over the USA before and during WW2?!?
US Senators were sending literal Nazi propaganda using tax-payer funded envelopes!
They blew up multiple munitions factories and killed Americans IN THE USA a year before Pearl Harbor!!!

Translation by Richard B. Clarke of the HSIN HSIN MING
attributed to Seng Ts'an, the
The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

"Imagine there's no #billionaires
It's easy if you try
No hell around us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one"

How about MAGAs die nasty, instead?
Pitchforks it is, then. We're gonna need a bigger Luigi
