The Ways of Wisdom Are Peace

📝Reflection

When unsure which road is the wise one, I use this verse as a compass: the way of wisdom is peaceful not only at its end but even while walking it. If a path looks glorious yet leaves the heart anxious and hardened the whole way, it is likely not wisdom's road. The life that follows Laozi's Dao, too, flowed like water, without force. Even if the destination is right, if the process gnaws at a person, look again. True wisdom is not a reward given only on arrival but a peace that seeps into every step.
