Let me begin.
The Way that becomes A way... is not the immortal WAY.
This tells us something very important. The moment we use the human rationality ... to try understand the ultimate... The origin and source of existence... We loose something. Our narrow human thought and views cannot grasp the reality of The TAO.... the WAY... which is immortal.
So this speaks to me about one thing... Non judgement... This leads us as human kind to not try to force each others ideas on each other... because the way we describe.. is not the immortal way.... Its a response to the WAY... for sure... But doesnt address the absolute TRUTH ...
Therefore we should not hurt each other... by judging... because if i do not know THE WAY.. however i follow A WAY... i can share the "A WAY:" yes but never be imposing. Always be accepting of others ... We are all living in existance in THE WAY... we cannot escape that... But we all see A WAY... in our own views.
Be kind ... be accepting ... And have our spirits looking towards THE WAY...
Together we all walk A WAY... towards THE WAY.
Blessings
