I Learned Something Today......

Today I learned something.   More than something actually.   I learned about Taoism and Lao Tzu.  I was aware of these teachings but had never really looked at them.   Today I found that Taoism roughly dates back to approximately the fourth century BC and the Tao Te Ching as much a can be determined was written by Lao Tzu.  And whats more it was reportedly written when he was 80 years old.   Perhaps there is hope for me yet.  Here is a quote from Lao Tzu that says exactly what I have been trying to say for a long time. 
"If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."
Lao Tzu
