People who look for the secret of long life
wind up dead.
Their bodies are the focus of their lives
and the source of their death,
because they think a healthy body
is all there is to life.
Lao Tzu used to say a man who truly understood life
could walk through the jungle without fear
or across a battlefield without armor, totally unarmed.
Wild animals and weapons couldn't kill him.
I know, I know: what does that mean?
"Well, he couldn't be killed," Lao Tzu said,
"because his body wasn't where he kept his death."
