Explanation Of The Tao Te Ching Part Forty Six 

“When the Tao is present in the universe,
The horses haul manure.
When the Tao is absent from the universe,
War horses are bred outside the city. 

There is no greater sin than desire,
No greater curse than discontent,
No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself.
Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.”

When people are living in harmony with nature they don’t take more than they need. When they start to covet – it creates disharmony and war.

There’s nothing worse than wanting more than we need, creating discontent and unhappiness. Knowing what is enough and in balance with nature creates contentment and happiness.
