71
If you know what you know,
Well, I guess you can close the case on that one!
But if you ignore what you ignore,
Face it, you’re a goddamn moron.
He who becomes sick of sickness
Learns to abide.
While he who makes everything a travesty
Remains a crazy fuck.
Why is the Dude so well?
Because he is never dis-eased.
Tao Te Ching: 71
Understanding that you don’t understand
Is the highest form of understanding.
But not understanding what you think you understand
Is a form of mental illness.
The reason the sages don’t suffer from this disease
Is because they are trained to diagnose it.
Missing verse 5 of Tao de Ching
yes it is missing, but like the sacred rug, we know it still exists, somewhere.
