Rockstar Philosopher - Lao Tzu
Always my favourite Philosopher, and the most often quoted of the Famous Thinkers.
Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching in the 5th Century BC, and is the founder of the Taoist religion.
Contemplating the wisdom of Lao Tzu, i am always amazed at the relevance of his words today.
Today's quote is relevant and typical of our relationship between life and environment. This quote is from the Tao Te Ching.
"Life is a series of Natural and Spontaneous changes- Do not resist them, that only creates sorrow. Let Reality be Reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

I prefer the resisting and not just going with the flow every time. Sorrow is the natural consequence of such actions in not being the victor.
I am interested in knowing more now how “let things flow naturally” results one into founding their own religion. That must be an existing story.
yes the story of Lao Tzu and the journey that became Taoism is very interesting and mixes facts with myth -- the point is that learning about his life helped me learn about my life -- rock on
