Give Up

Description

Give up knowledge and wisdom,
And mankind would profit a hundredfold.
Give up fake kindness and morality,
And people would rediscover love.
Give up possession and profit,
And waste and theft would disappear.

Yet such remedies treat only symptoms
And so they are not enough.

The wise turns back to simplicity,
He reveals his naked self and embrace his original nature;

Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;
Forget your habits and simplify your doings.

The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

Neat idea, you've taken upside down to a higher level! :D Reminds of of Van Gogh's Sunflowers for some reason (colors maybe?) but your photo is so much more poetic. Love the warm tones and the floating heart... Lao Tzu's words reduced to essence.
