Chapter 51
De Way Put Life Inna Everything
Original
道之尊，德之贵，夫莫之命而常自然。
故道生之，德畜之，长之育之，亭之毒之，养之覆之。生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓玄德。
Translieshan
De Way is respected, virtue is valued, not cuz anybody order it so, but cuz it natural like water flow. So de Way mek everytign, virtue feed it, mek it grow and develop, mek it ripe and mature, nuss it and protect it.
Mek tings but nuh claim dem, do tings but nuh rely pon it, lead but nuh try control - dis ya is de deep virtue weh neva fi see.
Diip Reflekshan
Wah dis chaptа bout?
Dis chapter tell wi say de Way create everything, and virtue nurse it like a modda nurse har pickney. Every last ting inna creation follow de natural order weh de Way set up. Nobody cyan tell de Way say mek it so, because it all happen by itself, natural like river flo. De Way mek everytng but neva own it, mek it work but neva hold pon it - dat is de true deep virtue weh wi mus learn.
How it relate to me?
Sometimes I want fi control everytng, mek sure everything go my way. But dis chapter teach me say creation neva force notn - it all flow natural like river. When I stop try control everyting and mek tings grow by demself, life come more peaceful. De virtue weh nuh own notn, weh nuh push - dis is di kinda person I want become.
Wah mi fi do todeh?
Today, mek wi stop try control tings weh no control by wi. Let tings grow natural like seed inna soil. Do good tings but don't push people fi appreciate it. Mek work but don't hold pon it so tight. Watch how de world mek tings and learn fi go wid de flow.
