For Lao Tzu, peace is the natural state of those who stop fighting against reality. He taught that desire is the root of unrest: 'There is no greater sin than desire, no greater curse than discontent, no greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself. ' He advocated for 'Wu Wei' (non-action or effortless action)—moving with the current of life rather than swimming upstream. By accepting things as they are and finding contentment in 'what is,' we find a peace that no external circumstance can disturb.
