Tao te Ching Chapter Seven

from Two Guys talking at the Watercooler Hosted by Center of the Universe (cotu)

Thomas Brill and Brian Parks chatting again. This week we talked about chapter 7 of the Tao te Ching. 1. Heaven endures; Earth lasts a long time. 2. The reason why Heaven and Earth can endure and last a long time— 3. Is that they do not live for themselves. 4. Therefore they can long endure. 5. Therefore the Sage: 6. Puts himself in the background yet finds himself in the foreground; 7. Puts self-concern out of [his mind], yet finds self-concern in the fore; 8. Puts self-concern out of [his mind], yet finds that his self-concern is preserved. 9. Is it not because he has no self-interest, 10. That he is therefore able to realize his self-interest?
