The book is starting to stress more and more wu-wei. It isn't in not doing, but in not being greedy, not wanting excess things; things like that. I now understand the reason for why wu-wei is so important. "The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering."
I love book 50. It says that he who knows how to live has no place for death to enter. Thus, that person cannot be wounded in battle, killed by a tiger or rhinoceros. The way of the Tao is being simple. Don't have too many things. Value the small things in life. "It is not wise to rush about. Controlling the breath causes strain. If too much energy is used, exhaustion follows." I like this because I have started to realize this lately by myself. There is no reason to run if you aren't playing sports. It only causes you to get more stressed. It isn't good at all.
"Rule a nation with justice. Wage war with surprise moves. Become master of the universe without striving." This is really similar to the Analects when Confucius really stresses being a ruler without forcing it and being just. The fact that greatness starts from little things is also heavily pronounced in these books. The book says that everything starts from the little things. These little things are what will eventually achieve greatness.
