Tao Te Ching 33 (Third Part)

Those who know contentment are wealthy.

Those who proceed vigorously have willpower.

Today I will interpret the Tao Te Ching 33 (Third Part). “Those know contentment is wealthy”. This statement is indeed true because when one is contented with what he/she has, he/she don’t feel that there is something lacking on him/her but when one is not contented with what he/she have, he/she will feel that he/she don’t have that more and he/she will don’t feel that he has many of the things that he/she thinks less. Having contentment means having the feeling of not being empty and the feeling of being moderate. While having no contentment means having the feeling of there is something more you want and feels being empty even in fact you have more.

“Those who proceed vigorously have willpower”. This statement is indeed true because in life, there are so many trials which would challenge us if we are capable of fighting it or not. Everyone of us has many trials in life that we have passed or awaits us, It is the one who is strong that would proceed and have the willpower to live more but those who surrender to the trials in life, are those people who lacks the strength and lacks the willpower to survive and therefore surrender to the trials of life.
