This is episode 2 of a series I am introducing where I comment on the book Dao De Jing by Lao Zi. The present entry covers Chapter 2 of the book and is concerned with understanding the extremes and interconnectedness, dealing with uncertainty, maintaining the right disposition in life, and behaving in moderation.
