It is true that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in different human cultures, different times, different cultural environments, or different religious traditions.

If they meet; if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

TAO 58- Government Should STFU

If a government is unobtrusive,
the people become whole.
If a government is repressive,
the people become treacherous.

Good fortune has its roots in disaster,

and disaster lurks with good fortune.
Who knows why these things happen,
or when this cycle will end?
Good things seem to change into bad,
and bad things often turn out for good.
These things have always been hard to comprehend.

Thus the Master makes things change

without interfering.
She is probing yet causes no harm.
Straightforward, yet does not impose her will.
Radiant, and easy on the eye.

If the government, congress, and world leaders, would just quit being the smartest person in the room and shut up for a while,
Maybe we can change
Maybe we can start to understand
Maybe we can quit labeling
Maybe we can accept science
Maybe we can believe again

Look in a mirror.
Ask questions.
Trust your instincts.

The laws of thermodynamics are neither good nor bad.
They just are.
