LXXXI

Las palabras que son verdad no son gratas, las palabras que son bellas no son verdad. Quien es inteligente no discute. Quien discute no es inteligente. Quien es sabio no es erudito. Quien es erudito no es sabio. El sabio no acumula posesiones. Cuanto más hace por los demás, más tiene. Cuanto más da a los demás, más posee. El Tao del Cielo, consiste en favorecer, y no perjudicar. El Tao del sabio siempre actúa y no contiende. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

LXXVI

El ser humano al nacer es blando y sensible, y cuando muere es duro y fuerte. Las plantas cuando nacen son tiernas y flexibles, y cuando mueren son secas y rígidas. Por eso aquellos que son duros y fuertes son compañeros de la muerte. Los suaves y débiles son compañeros de la virtud. Por eso, siendo las armas fuertes no triunfan. Y siéndolo los árboles vigorosos, son aserrados. Lo fuerte y lo grande están debajo. Lo ligero y lo débil, arriba. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

LXVI

El que los ríos y mares sean los reyes (de las aguas) de cientos de valles, viene de que saben mantenerse a un nivel inferior. Por ello, son los reyes de entre las aguas. Así el sabio: si quiere estar sobre las gentes, ha de mantenerse en sus charlas por debajo de ellos; si quiere estar por delante de las gentes, ha de mantenerse detrás. De igual manera permanece en lo más alto, sin dañar a las gentes. Se mantiene en primer lugar, y las gentes no sufren daño. Así pues: Todo el mundo está deseoso de alabarle, porque él no compite con nadie, nadie en el mundo puede competir con él. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

LXVII

Todo el mundo dice que el Tao es grande, pero como quien dice, lo dice, a nadie se asemeja Precisamente por ser grande, no tiene igual, Si se asemejara a algo, se hubiese empequeñecido. Tres cualidades preciosas poseo, aprecio y venero las tres. La primera es el amor. La segunda es la modestia. La tercera la humildad. Por el amor soy valeroso. Por la modestia, generoso. Y por la humildad llego a ser honesto. Pretender ser valeroso sin amor, generoso sin modestia e íntegro sin humildad se encamina hacia la muerte. Quien combatiendo ama, vence. Quien se mantiene en la defensa, se hace invencible. Cuando el cielo quiere salvarnos, nos protege con amor. [Tao Te King] Lao-Tsé

Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now Back beat , the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you By now you shoulda somehow realized what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody fee

The Struggle Continues

Everyday you give your more to receive your less. (Why?) I know it's hard to believe that mess.

The Blower's Daughter

And so it is, Just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is, The shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her sky I can't take my eyes off you (x5) I can't take my eyes... And so it is, Just like you said it should be We'll both forget the breeze Most of the time And so it is, The colder water The blower's daughter The pupil in denial I can't take my eyes off you  (x5) I can't take my eyes... Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind? I can't take my mind off you (x5) I can't take my mind... My mind, my mind... 'Til I find somebody [O] Damien Rice
