In Daoism, the concept of virtue is deeply intertwined with the idea of the still point, a state of emptiness and openness. In this state, virtuous qualities naturally arise, free from ego and self-centeredness. It's like peeling away layers and connecting to the essence of our being.

When we focus on the still point, we let go and unwind, which makes room for awareness to be fully present. A profound calm that is beyond time and space is felt. The qualities flow naturally in this place. True awe for the miracle of creation and the experience of being itself, starts to take shape. Our emotions are filled with gratitude when we recognize the richness and emptiness of everything. As it grows, love binds us to the way the cosmos interacts. A sense of humility appears, reminding us of our reliance on the forces that keep us alive.

Virtue is not something to be attained or sought after in Daoism. It is a natural outgrowth of our true selves, emerging from inner peace. We harmonize with the universe's innate balance and sharpen our awareness of the interconnection of all things by cultivating the still point and embracing its qualities.
