“Do not seek fame. Do not make plans. Do not be absorbed by activities. Do not think that you know. Be aware of all that is and dwell in the infinite. Wander where there is no path. Be all that heaven gave you, but act as though you have received nothing. Be empty, that is all.” ~ Chuang Tsu

You want Clarity™ ? The glorified housekeepers who call themselves ‘leaders’ hate you. You are cattle to them. They hate freedom of speech. They hate that you have guns. And they hate bitcoin.

O Thought, Thou devil Creator of gods When will thine empire fall? How long will words Conceal truth from man’s eyes And images Fetter the mind? How long will fear Beget hope and belief And hold mankind Captive in time? Is love to be found In faith or desire? Is compassion The outcome of will? Nay, thine essence Is purely a means to an end Thine echo As old as the hills! So wilt thou, O Thought Kindly yield and be still? And let silence Reveal truth to all!

“Give up learning, and put an end to your troubles. Is there a difference between yes and no? Is there a difference between good and evil?
Must I fear what others fear? What nonsense!
Other people are contented, enjoying the sacrificial feast of the ox.
In spring some go to the park, and climb the terrace,
But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am.
Like a newborn babe before it learns to smile,
I am alone, without a place to go. Others have more than they need, but I alone have nothing.
I am a fool. Oh, yes! I am confused.
Others are clear and bright,
But I alone am dim and weak.
Others are sharp and clever,
But I alone am dull and stupid.
Oh, I drift like the waves of the sea,
Without direction, like the restless wind. Everyone else is busy,
But I alone am aimless and depressed.
I am different.
I am nourished by the great mother.” ~ Lao Tsu

“Realization of one's true nature is happiness. When one reaches happiness, one is close to perfection. So one stops, yet does not know that one stops. This is Tao.” ~ Chuang Tsu

“When you see me, you do not even move out of the way. Perhaps you think that you are the equal of a Prime Minister?" “In our master's house is there such a thing as a Prime Minister?” ~ Chuang Tsu

“There is no greater sin than desire,
No greater curse than discontent,
No greater misfortune than wanting something for oneself.
Therefore he who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.” ~ Lao Tsu

Shih the carpenter was on his way to the state of Chi. When he got to Chu Yuan, he saw an oak tree by the village shrine. The tree was large enough to shade several thousand oxen and was a hundred spans around. It towered above the hilltops with its lowest branches eighty feet from the ground. More than ten of its branches were big enough to be made into boats. There were crowds of people as in a marketplace. The master carpenter did not even turn his head but walked on without stopping. His apprentice took a long look, then ran after Shih the carpenter and said, "Since I took up my axe and followed you, master, I have never seen timber as beautiful as this. But you do not even bother to look at it and walk on without stopping. Why is this?" Shih the carpenter replied, "Stop! Say no more! That tree is useless. A boat made from it would sink, a coffin would soon rot, a tool would split, a door would ooze sap, and a beam would have termites. It is worthless timber and is of no use. That is why it has reached such a ripe old age."

Any ruling class mf who says ‘draft’ is doing it to score loyalty points with the brotherhood.
