First Post of Tao Te Ching

I like what Tao Te Ching is saying about how things exist because of the existence of the opposite of it. It probably is this way because one of the ways people identify things is by comparing with others.
Well, I would like to share some of the axioms from this book reminded me with a discussion we did in class about good people.
For example, from chapter 3, “If nothing is done, then all will be well.” Think about it. Doing something for someone means that you are going in favor with that person. Going in a favor with a person automatically means going against another one. Therefore, if everyone doesn’t do anything for anyone, then there will be the so-called “peace”.
Now, if that is what I want or not is a different matter of fact. I personally think it will be boring if no one does something. I wish that things worth breaking that “peace” exists. And that I will be able to encounter with one. Even if it means I am running towards the opposite direction of illumination. I am not sure if I believe in it though.
Another axiom similar to the one mentioned above comes from chapter 7, “Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.” In one word, I believe it is telling you to be detached. It sounds so similar to what Lord Krishna said from Bhagavad-Gita. Be detached and complete your duties. I think I am still young to be able to consider this as a possible way of becoming a better self. Because I totally don’t understand how one can say that you took whatever action you took because it was your duty. I do not understand how you can put your reasons for your own actions to something beyond your reach. I mean, it just sounds an excuse to whatever thing you are doing.
But please be aware that this is only a way of thinking of a student who still doesn’t know that many things. And I am very sorry for my immature and not responsible comments I have made in my response. I do apologize if this has offended someone somehow.
