Abandon Sagacity, Discard Wisdom

绝圣弃智,民利百倍;绝仁弃义,民复孝慈;绝巧弃利,盗贼无有。
此三者以为文不足,故令有所属:见素抱朴,少私寡欲。
Abandon sagacity, discard wisdom, and the people benefit a hundredfold. Abandon benevolence, discard righteousness, and the people return to filial piety and compassion. Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and there will be no thieves or robbers. These three are not enough as cultural ornaments; therefore let the people have something to hold to: see the unadorned, embrace the uncarved wood, reduce selfishness, diminish desires.

Bugün ne yapmalıyım?

Today, I will identify one unnecessary desire or clever plan and set it aside, focusing on a simple, present-moment action like a quiet walk or a heartfelt conversation.
