23) 故飄風不終朝，驟雨不終日
A violent wind does not last for a whole morning;
Dao De Jing, source: https://ctext.org/dao-de-jing
a sudden rain does not last for the whole day.
As this weekend approaches, I was looking up some quotes from past writers in antiquity looking for inspiration, and I finally settled on this one.
Sometimes life feels pretty terrible, and hopeless. But I like how this quote from the ancient Taoist text, the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching in some spellings), reminds us that even a powerful hurricane doesn’t blow forever.
At difficult times, I like reading this old post. Not to sound vain, but it is my personal favorite.
Be safe, and be well, dear readers!
