If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. 45 True perfection seems imperfect, yet it is perfectly itself. True fullness seems empty, yet it is fully present.
True straightness seems crooked.
True wisdom seems foolish. True art seems artless. The Master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself.
