The Dao is very easy to understand. One does not need any kind of advanced degree to see it in action every day. Yet, no one understands it. The Dao offers lessons that are quite easy to practice.

As usual, man is too busy being ‘brilliant’ to figure out what is the most essential. Mankind is going to outsmart itself right off the planet.
