"Gentleness brings victory to him who attacks, and safety to him who defends. Those whom Heaven would save, it fences round with gentleness.
There is no calamity greater than lavish desires, there is no greater guilt than discontentment, and there is no greater disaster than greed. He who is contented with contentment is always contented."
Lao tzu, Tao Te Ching, trans by Wing Tsit Chan, 1963
"The Court is corrupt,
The fields are overgrown with weeds,
The granaries are empty,
Yet there are those dressed in fineries,
With swords at their sides,
Filled with food and drink,
And possessed of much wealth.
This is taking the lead in robbery,
Far indeed is this from the Way."
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
I have somewhere to be.
Just charts tonight.
This is madness. All of it.
Madness.
Have a pleasant evening.
