Actually, Woody, since you mention it:
“Don't imagine that you'll discover the truth by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge creates doubt, and doubt makes you ravenous for more knowledge. You can't get full eating this way”

If enough people subscribed to this philosophy, the Earth would be a much more peaceful planet.

I think Lao Tzu was a crazy man.
I also think he was enlightened in a way that most of us aren't ever going to get to.

I see it as being truthful. Our needs to survive are pretty basic yet in our materialist world we always desire more. Desire is the root cause of human suffering-learning to be content with what you have is the key to attaining bliss and happiness in life.

It is interesting. I don't know if anyone will ever reach that point, though.

He means don't be greedy and be happy with what you got.

I believe it's about being content with what you have, or with yourself...
