Daily Tao: Sunday August 14, 2005
Today's Daily Tao says is succinctly.
Sunday, 14 August, 2005 :: 77
As it acts in the world, the Tao
is like the bending of a bow.
The top is bent downward;
the bottom is bent up.
It adjusts excess and deficiency
so that there is perfect balance.
It takes from what is too much
and give to what isn't enough.
Those who try to control,
who use force to protect their power,
go against the direction of the Tao.
They take from those who don't have enough
and give to those who have far too much.
The Master can keep giving
because there is no end to her wealth.
She acts without expectation,
succeeds without taking credit,
and doesn't think that she is better
than anyone else.

I am not sure what you mean. Can you please clarify?
OK, i do understand the concept of infinite supply, but how does this relate to this post?
Maybe you are suggesting that those with "too much" shouldn't have to give to those "what isn't enough" because there is plenty for both...
But then say that if you believe in abundance, you'll gladly share and give without limits. This suggests that those with excess should give without worrying about losing anything because there is always more where that came from.
As i see it, the point of this writing is to say basically that, that those with plenty should share with those who are lacking, to bring both closer to a more moderate position. But what is happening is just the opposite, those with plenty are taking from those with little, making the gap even greater.
