Beyond the Superficial by Dr. Andre Muhammad

As a person who is attempting to live my life in accordance with the Tao, I must begin to view life in a paradoxical manner. First, I must come to understand that the greatest perfections seem imperfect. I must come to understand that the greatest fullness seems empty. I must eventually grow to understand that the great straightness seems twisted. Further, I must come to understand that the great intelligence seems stupid, the great eloquence seems awkward, and the great truth seems false.

The real truth lies in the understanding of paradox. The paradox represents the oneness of all things.

Peace and blessings!
