To conquer others is to have power. To conquer yourself is to know the way.
“The Debt, Part II” · Season 3, Episode 7
In this episode: Lao Ma (3)
The entire world is driven by a will, blind and ruthless. In order to transcend the limitations of that world, you need to stop willing, stop desiring, stop hating.
Heaven endures and the Earth lasts a long time because they do not live for themselves. Therefore she who would live a long time should live for others, serve others.
