However, once the atom had been pull further than their gravity, it'll start collapsing and things will probably change , never stay as the same again anymore.

Only by "inaction" can one be unhurried and get ready early. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author note: This refer to the statement that sometimes it is better to remain inaction .

It can be also because the wise people saw or understand the true nature that things do not stay permanent and thus understand that richness of material possession is something that are bound to pass away. And because of this , the wear simple cloth yet  had the precious jade (known as virtue) are kept even more deeply within them.

Karma in a simple word, can be define as part of the consequences of one own action especially the bad and evil consequences. It was funny that while there are saying that one reap what one plow , many tend to disbelief and thinking that something worser will not befall on them as a result of hurting or harming others . While i do did a lot of past mistakes as a result of my own ignorance, there are one particular karma experience which i think i could share out as i personally experience it and particularly convincing. sometimes ago i was dealing with banning spam for my company as part of my work. it was a tedious and long long unnessary work as the spam will keep on happening and wasting our time. and i think i been banning the spam for months. after i read a special mantra, that particular month, the spamming issue begin to cease and never return anymore. it was after quite a while that i begin to think about it and wonder that could this be some sort of karma which during my colle...

Wise Men talking series , Lao Zi says from Zi publications sdn bhd. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author note: While heaven and eath certainly do alive longer time than most of the human in this earth lifespan in this particular era, perhaps i should just refer it in a way that is more simple to understand. The statement above can be refer to the situation where a human take care of his own well-being simply because they don't exist for themself only. This can be refer to situation such as the breadwinner of the family.

At one point of our time, we all had for the very least for a second, t...
