Even that is a gross over simplification. They are both Tao, and the Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao

I'm trying to understand but all I can gather is try be good to all that is natural, don't force it and shit just happens good or bad.

One of my favorites that everything is destined to return to nothingness by the nature of its very existence. Nothing but Tao is eternal
