Chinese new year begins with Tao Te Ching

Stop thinking, and end your problems.

What difference between yes and no?

What difference between succes and failure?

Must you value what others value,

avoid what other avoid?

How ridiculous!

Other people are excited,

as though they were at a parade.

I alone don't care,

I alone am expressionless,

like an infant before it can smile.

Other people have what they need;

I alone possess nothing.

I alone drift about,

like someone whithout a home.

I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

Other people are bright;

I alone am dark.

Other people are sharp;

I alone am dull.

Other people have a purpose;

I alone don't know.

I drift like a wave on the ocean,

I blow as aimless as the wind.

I am different from ordinary people.

I drink from Great Mother's breasts.

Lao-tzu
