Tao Te Ching Analysis | verse 1 interpretation

The Tao Te Ching is an iconic ancient chinese text attributed to Lao Tzu (who almost certainly wasn't a real person that wrote it all, but shut up). It's a text I always personally struggle to get my head around, which is exactly why I wanted to try making this video. So here's my rambling, badly-expressed thoughts on the first poem of the Tao Te Ching.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
