I'm watching with a particular morbid fascination how many politicians are moving about gesticulating. They are not offering much but lip service. At best, for the 10% they do well, the rest of the 90 are deplorable. While first responders lay their lives on the line to save us, it's difficult to hear these people cocooned in their privileges deny their voters the same. Food is being put to waste because it can't be sold. Government fighting over Chloroquine. Governments stealing masks from one another. And meanwhile, the first responders are there, laying their lives down to save us. It's particularly troubling. How did we give away so much empowerment to these so-called representatives that no longer represent our best interests but vested interests?
Who are the real heroes? Those who talk or those who do?
From the Tao Te King"
"Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.
Keep your mouth closed.
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.
He who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and enemies,
With good and harm, with honor and disgrace.
This therefore is the highest state of man."
I will do my best to be quiet, to do the inner work, and take a load off the world in these difficult times.
