Tao Te Ching
ELEVEN
Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness comes from what is not there.

I wonder if EY could read these and still hold that his RCC doctrine is still the defining moral value set that defines the virtue of man from all other religions that have come before and after it.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Sure he can. It's part of being a conceited cunt.
TWELVE
The five colors blind the eye.
The five tones deafen the ear.
The five flavors dull the taste.
Racing and hunting madden the mind.
Precious things lead one astray.
Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.
He lets go of that, and chooses this.

THIRTEEN
Accept disgrace willingly.
Accept misfortune as the human condition.
What do you mean by 'Accept disgrace willingly'?
Accept being unimportant.
Do not be concerned with loss or gain
This is called 'accepting disgrace willingly'.
What do you mean by 'Accept misfortune as the human condition'?
Misfortune comes from having a body.
Without a body, how could there be misfortune?
Surrendler yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.

LOVE that quote.
It's because most people love self the most.
^ they separate 'self' from environement, not realizing they arise as one/are connected. This is the great illusion imo. Once you experience that 'blending' sensation even for a few moments its all over you see the joke in it
