Tao Te Ching Chapter 22-10 No bragging

Today's Tao

He doesn't brag. So, he is successful. (Ch.22)


"Don't brag."

"Excuse me, sir, but it is rather conventional as a supposedly eccentric Taoist wisdom"

Taoism is not against conventional wisdom.

We just look at it a bit differently.

Bragging is a waste of energy.

If you want to transform your hologram (=the world) as economically and efficiently as possible, bragging is not recommended.

Being jealous is not recommended, either.
