[Solved?] How can these 2 people be connected? Is this even possible?
As I was reading this, I was amazed how a child that was just born and this man from 3000 years ago could possibly be linked. Please see this amazing comparison and some additional information below.
On the left, we have baby Bence, just recently born within the last few months. A good sized baby weighing about 12 lbs at birth. The first thing that of course that is very noticeable is a full head of white hair. Baby Bence was checked thoroughly by several doctors and all checks showed what were considered normal results and a healthy baby.
Doctors carefully considered that the white hair could be due to Albinism (a condition that the body could have trouble creating melanin and could cause pale skin and/or hair). After some blood tests it was found that the melanin levels were low in baby Bence and could cause the white hair. However, this was a puzzling situation for the doctors as this was ONLY affecting the color of the baby's hair and not his skin. It could also be possibly determined that this could condition could have been caused by a sign of illness, prenatal stress etc.
Baby Bence was of course adored by the hospital staff and they began to call him “Prince Charming.”
The doctors now feel that the hair color could show darker as "Prince Charming" ages.
On the right side of the picture we have Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher and also known as "the Father of Taoism" . He is best known for authoring a book named Tao Te Ching and being considered the founder of philosophical Taoism.
*** Tying them together ***
So about 3000 years ago, Laozi was born, also with a full head of white hair. There is a legend that states that Laozi was already 70 years in his mother's womb possessed great wisdom way beyond his years. His book , Tao Te Ching is the most published book in all the world.
My thinking is that yes, special things happen because of genetics, abnormalities as we all know. This rare occurrence, could it just be a abnormality or something very special to produce one of our more amazing humans. A human with very special gifts of knowledge or a miracle for our humanity to receive to cure one of our incurable diseases or something even greater.
Imagine. I was completely amazed to read about both of these inspiring stories. I hope you are as well.
Please share any thoughts, perspective, experiences or feedback you may have about this.
Interesting post @marrada! Resteemed, upvoted and followed.
Interesting! Thanks for posting.
It called Akudaya in my country naira. Akudaya means someone that die and come back to earth.
Your post did capture my attention, since Lao tzu is my source of understanding the universe and life. However what is in our hand from Lao tzu legacy is Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing or Daode Jing) - The Way and Its Power, and is also known as the Lao-tzu.
Nevertheless by going trough the text of Lao tzu , you can realize that Lao tzu did not rely on myths. but it is contrary, it was based on wisdom and logic.
So i cannot link a baby boy having white hair with the great master, especially if we now that we have very limited informations about Lao tzu and only through his book that contain 81 chapter moreover there is no confirmed information about Lao tzu having white hair when he was a baby. The following is chapter one; please enjoy reading.
Chapter One
Tao (The Way) that can be spoken of is not the Constant Tao’
The name that can be named is not a Constant Name.
Nameless, is the origin of Heaven and Earth;
The named is the Mother of all things.
Thus, the constant void enables one to observe the true essence.
The constant being enables one to see the outward manifestations.
These two come paired from the same origin.
But when the essence is manifested,
It has a different name.
This same origin is called “The Profound Mystery.”
As profound the mystery as It can be,
It is the Gate to the essence of all life.
Interesting post.
I'll just chalk it up to a kid with light hair.
Fascinating!
Thanks so much for sharing
