Leaders Lead, Humans Dominate (Why Are We Here)

I think what the Tao Te Ching is trying to teach us can be summarized in chapter twenty-three. It says:
“He who follows the Tao
Is one with the Tao.
He who is virtuous
Experiences virtue.
He who loses the way
Is lost.” (p. 25)

These three things, about being one with the Tao, having virtue as a value and following the “way” are all in the introduction. Basically, as I said before, the Tao Te Ching derives from these three things. They come up other times, for example, in Chapter Twenty-One, Virtue and Tao appear again. “The greatest Virtue is to follow Tao and Tao alone.” (p. 23) notice that Virtue is written with a capital “V” therefore, it is seen as a pronoun.
In conclusion, the message that is trying to be sent is that we should start to work WITH earth instead of AGAINST it. (When I say earth I refer to all living things apart from human beings.) We have confused the amount of power we think we have, as said in chapter 10, “Leading yet not dominating, this is the Primal Virtue” a value, we lack and desperately need.

So, why are we here?
To lead, not dominate.
