Verse 76 | ||
classes qigong tai chi kung fu about us reviews a-z
People at birth
are soft and supple:
At death,
they are hard and stiff.
When plants are alive,
they are green and bending;
When they are dead,
they are dry and brittle.
Soft and bending is the way of the living;
Hard and brittle is the way of the dying.
Therefore,
a great strength
that is inflexible,
Will break in the wind
like an old dead tree.
So the arrogant and the unyielding
will fall;
And the humble and the yielding
will overcome
(Lao Tzu)
