生まれたての人間は弱く、力を必要としている。独りでは何もできず、援助の手を必要としている。判断力がなく、拠り所を必要としている。生まれた時に無いものすべてを、大人になるために必要なものすべてを、教育は授けてくれる。 - ジャン＝ジャック・ルソー (1712 - 78)

![IMAGE: The Tao [Way] that can be followed is not the eternal Tao [Way]. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth, while naming is the origin of the myriad things. Therefore, always desireless, you see the mystery; ever desiring, you see the manifestations. These two are the same--when they appear--they are named differently.](https://www.ok312.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-4283139_640-100x67.jpg)
