Vertaler Mark Leenhouts over het vertalen van Sunzi en Laozi. Sunzi vertalen lijkt me al niet makkelijk (oude filosofie/krijgskunst in het klassiek Chinees), maar Laozi's "Daodejing" moet wel een van de allermoeilijkste boeken zijn om te vertalen, en dat blijkt wel uit de voorbeelden die hij bespreekt.

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.Therefore having and not having arise together.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short contrast each other;
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another.Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not possessing,
Working, yet not taking credit.
Work is done, then forgotten.
Therefore it lasts forever.Lao Tzu — Tao Te Ching

The Tao of heaven is like the bending of a bow.
The high is lowered, and the low is raised.
If the string is too long, it is shortened;
If there is not enough, it is made longer.Tao Te Ching

🌬️ Daily Tao — Chapter 5
The Tao doesn’t take sides. It gives birth to both good and evil. The Master welcomes saints and sinners alike. The more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold to the center.
The Way breathes—empty yet full. The more I try to define it, the more it slips away. Maybe the center isn’t about purity, but presence. Saints, sinners—just us, all on the same path.

This passage always lands for me. It’s a reminder that you are here — not in some imagined past or branching multiverse. Just here. Now.
Whatever brought you to this moment is the path. And that’s enough.
Live like it.

"Freedom isn't about some great escape or the pusuit of some grand purpose. It is about letting go of the need for both."
Profound reflections on The Way, thank you.
#Zhuangzhi and #Laozi: these texts have accompsnied me through many crises in my life. They helped me realise myself as part of a flow that crushes all self-set targets and mission statements, a flow that demands open-minded attention to the potentialities of the given moment: the "incipiencies" (chi) of the I-Ching.
You are right to contrast such attentiveness with the pressure in corporate social media to build one's self as a "brand".
May I draw a parallel to Fediverse culture? At its best, it supports quiet, non-viral exchanges of mutually resonating posts, where each participant picks up some small facets of the world that they previously had blocked out. The antithesis of "influencer" culture, where each participant pushes their own unchanged vain goals

#Laozi (/ˈlaʊdzə/), also romanized as Lao Tzu among other ways, was a semi-legendary Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching (Laozi), one of the foundational texts of Taoism alongside the Zhuangzi. The name, literally meaning 'Old Master', was likely intended to portray an archaic anonymity that could converse with #Confucianism. Modern scholarship generally regards his biographical
