Verse 73: "The Great Maybe"

Verse 73 has a unique take and message for us looking for patterns in the universe to support our penchants for assigning “good” and “bad”, or “right” and “wrong” in advance as the universe unfolds around us.

Instead, this verse might tempt us to flirt with becoming a student of the “Great Maybe” – a life where we let others make distinctions where there are none, while we return to the original uncarved block of existence where we find ourselvesoriginally defined by eternal Tao, and not by some temporary culture.

We talk about theodicy, or the tendencies we have to offer predigested answers about why seemingly bad things happen.
