Good..Evil?

As in the Analects, the Tao Te Ching says very wise things. It seems these Chinese people were very intelligent and knew a lot of things that are very interesting. As you read you think about everything they say and in my case, I agree with the most of what they say. It’s rather impressive to see how the Chinese say things which are completely relevant to everyone and not only to their culture. My image of the Chinese was that they were very close minded but after traveling then last year and reading the Tao Te Ching and the Analects I found out they are not close minded at all.

“All can know good as good only because there is evil” Two. This thing about good and evil I believe I heard about before. Ishmael, The Bible, Gilgamesh, and the Analects all talk about good and evil and the difference between the two and so many theories about them. Once again we find it in the Tao Te Ching. What they say here is true, with no evil, there would be no good. If everything was good then it wouldn’t be good, it would simply be the same.
