Daniele Bolelli speaking with Duncan Trussell and Rich Evirs, quoting Lao Tzu

Daniele: My Teachings are very easy to understand And very easy to practice ... but nobody understands them and nobody practices them.

[Duncan and Rich laugh]


Daniele:  It’s beautiful you know, it’s like, it’s like Nietzsche put it as a subtitle of his book;  A Book for Everyone and No One.  Theoretically it's really simple, because it doesn't require any specific, strange weird knowledge ... it's the basic elements of life.  But people are so distant from what's natural, from in a way the essence of things, that they complicate shit needlessly and then something that is the simplest thing ever - they will never be able to get it because its too rooted ... if you chase artificial crap all day long, you're not going to be able to look at something natural and simple and recognize it for what it is.
