為學日益,為道日損 - "When pusruing studies, add daily; When pusruing the Way, remove daily"

Last post for the day. This is a quote from Laozi (AKA Tao Te Ching), once more written in the ancient State of Chu bamboo scroll script. While everyone has their own interpretation of the text, personally, I think this quote makes the observation that, while humans need to learn new things and improve themselves, if we don't learn to relax, simplify, and let go, we'll end up overburdened. But I'd love to hear what you all think as well!
