The Highest Exemplary Human State. {7.}
****
“Those who know, do not talk.
Those who talk, do not know.
Keep your mouth shut.
Guard your senses.
Temper your sharpness.
Simplify your problems.
Mask your brightness.
Be at one with the dust of the earth.
This is primal union.
S{h}e who has achieved this state
is unconcerned with friends and enemies
with good and harm, with honor and disgrace;
this is the highest state of the human.
---- Lao-Tzu, the founder of Taoism, 600 B.C. - 531 B.C.
