How to Live Your Life According to the Tao The lesson that I take from Tao Te Ching is that everything comes and goes; nothing is set in stone forever‚ and times will always change. It being said that nothing stays the same forever‚ there are patterns and cycles in life. I notice these cycles in more than just life. I notice them in the world as well.
