Pure nonsense!

ignorance is true knowledge.only a truly wise man can know that fact.the ignorance that is that wise is a part of the relativiy of the system and there for is still in the system and moves not.tao is the unmoving mover.

Anyhooo... my understanding of that little mystic piece of advise is that contentment is easier to achieve without expectations hindering same.

ha.if you where content then you would see clearly that your contentment was indistinguishable from the relativity between objects across the entire universe from the big bang to the present moment.

More accurately, it may mean... It is easier to strive for contentment without expectations of same.

yes that contentment as you discribe is indistinguishable from object relativity across all time to the present ongoing moment in the event.

Stop answering in the forum, if you wish to really answer in the forum...

yes stop answering in the forum if you realy want to answer in the forum.tao is the real and nonmoving answerer.

Tao seems absurd. And illogical.
But isn't life illogical?

yes it is tao alone that does not move and is certain.all esle is in the yin yan state of flux and uncertainty.tao is nothing that none the less exists out side time and space but also is time and space.everything is tao or a form of tao..tao is nonlocal but forms locations that move.tao is is there for the realativity in all yin yan energy events.

Everything moves.
Everything changes.
And this means that everything stays the same...
Too much change and too much movement can only indicate the illusion of these phenomena.

everything moves and changes but not tao.tao has never moved or changed.tao is everything in existance all came from this source.but the source of its self is unchangable.all things then are just tempory expressions of the unmoving tao.the mover and the future of the moved thing is tao.
