I read today that after the recent US Presidential election some “Americans” want to leave the country.
Oh well, that’s their decision, but I would respectfully point out that resilence, perserverance, and fortitude are American ideals.
I’m not worried, because I seen worse and I dream of better, just like my parents, and their parents, etc…
Democracy was once viewed as a fantasy dream. I guess current events just show us that we are actually living that dream. Whoever you voted for, thank you for showing up. I really appreciate it!
Happy Friday!
Seventy-Seven
The Tao of heaven is like the bending of a bow.
The high is lowered and the low is raised.
If the string is too long, it is shortened;
If there is not enough, it is made longer.
The Tao of heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who do not have enough.
Man`s way is different.
He takes from those who do not have enough
to give to those who already have too much.
What man has more than enough and gives it to the world?
Only the man of Tao.
Therefore the sage works without recognition.
He achieves what has to be done without dwelling on it.
He does not try to show his knowledge.
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu
