"The great Way is simple, yet people prefer the side paths."
Dispersion reveals profound simplicity.
The great path dissolves complexity through radical distribution.
Wisdom flows naturally when artificial barriers collapse. Royal granaries open, perspiration becomes teaching - knowledge scatters like seeds across fertile ground.
The inexperienced will seek understanding; true instruction emerges through sincere questioning, not forced learning.

"Translation of the original text:
"He dissolves his bond with his group. Supreme good fortune. Dispersion leads in turn to accumulation. This is something that ordinary men do not think of."
Or as my mother would say "Less is more".
Chapter 48 of the Tao Te Ching:
"To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day. Reduce and reduce again, until all action is reduced to non-action. Then nothing is left undone.”
One who gives freely and without attachment receives a full life in return. One who gives in secret hope of gain is merely engaged in business. Such a person neither truly gives nor truly receives any of the treasure beneath Heaven.""
Dissolution transforms through radical release.
Accumulated damage requires strategic deconstruction - not repair, but complete reimagining.
Healing emerges by courageously dismantling corrupted systems, allowing fresh structures to emerge from intentional emptiness.

"It is not I who seek the young fool; The young fool seeks me. At the first oracle I inform him. If he asks two or three times, it is importunity. If he importunes, I give him no information."
Confrontation demands strategic restraint.
Wisdom emerges through selective engagement.
Powerful forces seek connection, but premature interaction risks profound damage. Wait. Allow the seeker to demonstrate genuine commitment before revealing deeper insights.
