If you want to awaken all of humanity by Lao Tzu

İle

“If you want to awaken all of humanity,
then awaken all of yourself,
if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world,
then eliminate all that is negative in yourself.
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that
of your own self-transformation.”

— Lao Tzu

    I came for a closer look at the image, which is beautiful, evocative, a potent moment captured potently.

    I love the quote, too. Though… just an FYI

    It is a Taoist insight, but was written some 500 years after the Tao te Ching, by Wang Fou.

    Lots of beautiful work here, in images and words.

    Yes, I agree, yet there are times when things are getting out of control and one has to help things out anyway they can. Like what is happening to America right now. People need to let there voice be heard.

    So true. So simple. Yet such a bitter pill for many to swallow.
