Tao Te Ching Chapter 79 The Virtue of Heaven 上天的德性

This Chapter is an excerpt from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, specifically Chapter 79, titled "The Virtue of Heaven." It contrasts the self-serving nature of human interactions, marked by grudges and expectations of reciprocity, with the impartial benevolence of Heaven. The chapter advocates for cultivating a selfless, sage-like attitude, mirroring Heaven's nurturing of all things without judgment or expectation of return. This virtue, the text argues, is the key to achieving true harmony and becoming aligned with the Tao.
