Tao Te Ching 13-28

I don't know whether the Yin-Yang is from Daoism, but these pages stress a lot the complete whole that is achieved with the good and bad sides. "Know the white, but keep the black!" I'm beginning to feel that it is one of the main teachings, and in order to follow the Tao, you must be aware of this. "Yield and overcome; bend and be straight; empty and be full; wear out and be new; have little and gain; have much and be confused."

I like what it says in book 13 about misfortune being the human condition. I believe that to be very true. We have to accept it as unavoidable and unpredictable. We have to; going back to the Yin-Yang thing, take the good with the bad. In book 19, we see the concept of wu-wei once again. It isn't actually not doing or not acting, but it talks about giving up things. It talks about not striving to do things but letting them come naturally.
