THE ANCIENTS SAY; "If you can dispense with reputation then you are free from care. Reputation is only a visitor but INTEGRITY is here to stay. In today's world people place too much importance on fame, wealth, longevity, and reputation at the expense of their integrity and happiness. Of course you cannot enjoy life if you don't have some wealth or longevity. However, to push yourself to exhaustion pursuing these goals,
not knowing when to stop is to rob yourself of the time you have in this world." - LIEH TZU 400BC.
OUR LITTLE LIVES ARE MEANINGLESS
AND INSIGNIFICANT...
...and ain't that a relief?!
"THE HIGHEST GOOD IS LIKE WATER - effortlessly nourishing everything as it flows to the lowest places. Live close to the land, keep close to the ground. In thinking, explore the depths. With others, be kind and flexible. Be careful with words. Stuggle with others and there will be blame. Have preconceptions and there will be confusion. Try to stop the river and there will be floods. Move with the flowing downward course to humility. From birth to death the direction is clear - yield and change like water." - LAO TZU
