Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 13
Accept disgrace willingly.
Accept misfortune as the human condition.
What do you mean by "Accept disgrace willingly"?
Accept being unimportant.
Do not be concerned with loss and gain.
This is called "accepting disgrace willingly."
What do you mean by "Accept misfortune as the human condition"?
Misfortune comes from having a body.
Without a body, how could there be misfortune?
Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.
(translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English)
I chat with women (and occasionally men) about sex online. Some of this blog is based on those chat sessions. Some about the people in the chat sessions. Some is about other sex related topics. Plus I reserve the right to include whatever else I like.
