M De Jing (A series of writings by me inspired by the Dao De Jing)

#1: "What is the origin of life?

I don't think any soul or entity is capable of knowing such a thing.

In the lack of a definite answer people like to insert ideas, grand theorems, and complex narratives.

It is a fool's errand.

So what should you see in the abscense of anything definite?

NOTHING.

"But we exist" says the fool.

"Everything and nothing created each other" says the master. 1 and 0 are the same. 

Just like two ends of a switch that you can flip.

This is the only real truth."

#2: "If you seek to know everything, you must first know nothing

To be able to learn, you must be able to handle contradiction with a fluid mind

To adapt, is the pinnacle of evolution."

#3: "Those who see themselves as wise, often are not

Those who see themselves as heading towards success, are often gearing up for failure

Those who see themselves as attractive, are often ugly in a major way

Therefore to be truest to existence, stop seeing things through a binary

Stop striving for the little crumbs Gaia drops you, and you will cease to be stabbed in the back

True happiness, is something separate from success."

#4: "A fool will always be a fool

My folly eternal

Though I may hurt I will keep this promise to you

I will always be me

That idiot who chases the stars

That clown who lives a fantasy

In this guilded world of disease 

It's the only way I can be free."

#5: "If the next stop on the path is filled with pain

Do not go there unless you want pain

It will still be there tomorrow"

#6: "The amateur thinks freedom only applies to themselves

They reveal their folly whenever they do something controversial and get pushback

The master knows that they are not the only mind

Therefore they take accountability, and nurture the freedoms of those around them."
