I am Lao Tze - Ask me anything. If you don't, I will

will i ever get laid?

why don't you recognize the value of passion to human experience

Why am I so miserable?

how big is your cock

>>9910635
I don't predict the future. I provide insight. If you were to ask, "Why do I not get laid?" I would say that what you desire works against you. The only reason the river meets obstacles is because it is flowing further.

>>9910834
Expectations -
You will be unsatisfied
for expectations require the world to bend to you,
and that will not happen.

Heaven is everlasting and earth is enduring.
The reason that they are everlasting is because they do not exist for themselves.
Hence, they are long lived.
Thus, although the saint puts himself last, finds himself in the lead.
Although he is not self-concerned, finds himself accomplished.
It is because he is not focused on self-interests and hence can fulfill his true nature.

Large enough to feed my family,
though we prefer the hens,
and patiently await their eggs -
until its time to fuck your mother.

>>9910773
Passion is nothing more than a more intimate connection with expectation.

are you even real?

>>9912247
I am not the i-ching. I will provide insight. I would say take no action. The opportunity to take action will come to you or it won't.

>>9912274
I will bleed if cut.
I will laugh if told a good joke.
But my being cannot be proven,
how many mathematical problem equal zero?
If you were asked to provide a problem that equates to zero, would you have provided every problem that could do so?
I am real,
a real mf.

If to save the world I were to cut a hair, knowing it would regrow, would I be doing it a favor?

- rupi kaur

>>9912331
Leave it alone.
The world that can be saved
is not the world to save.
The hair to cut
is not the hair worth cutting.

And, would you be doing the hair a favor or the world a favor? Either way -
the favor done the hair is that of the favor done the picked flower.
the favor done the world is the same as
removing a tumor from a dead body.

Do yoga pants create neurosis because they further tempt the Id while the Ego has a more intense confusion of social norms in a post industrial society?

>>9912368
That doesn't make sense.

What are the two characters that compose the character "Li" (Confucian virtue) in original mandarin? I know the first one means "ceremony" and the second one means "Urn" but I don't know the pinyin.

>>9913318
Is this true?

>>9913833
What am I talking about of course it's true

It is I, Lao Pooh!

The sage flows like a summer stream, uninhibited
The neurotic catches himself on Beaver dam, like Wam-a-lam-a ding dong
You must create peace in the external world, and ironically be afraid of what is causing you mental anguish
For river flows like stream and consciousness
Now! you have anxiety? be as scared as possible, padawan. In making irrational fear mighty joke, one sees it flow away like dumb dumb log
And sees self escape ahead, in stream of world

>>9912656
Perhaps only those meant to perceive the truth would see the truth. I'm sorry you were destined to be unenlightened forever.

Mr. Tzu, I have been experiencing some differences between my mental and physical manifestations. I feel as if one is trying to combat with and then win over the other. What should I do?

I have no questions for degenerates.
You're already dead, fucking chinese precursor to hippies.
