" The more laws and restrictions there are the poorer people become.
The sharper the weapons,
the more trouble in the land.
The more clever and ingenious people are,
the stranger things happen.
The more rules and regulations,
the more thieves and robbers."
"Lao Tzu" (604-517BC)
His commentary is as clear and precise then as it is today
Everything changes
but humanities behavior
stays the same
Let us try this year to have less
restrictions in our thinking and our actions
Our sharper weapons are causing death and destruction all around us and the present misuse of weaponry is a prime example
Our cleverness is causing strange behavior and even though in medicine and communication our society is advancing, our humanity is not
Our rulers are putting so many regulations on the populous there is mass starvation around our world causing an increase in theft and violent robbery
Lao Tzu got it right
We still have not got it right after two thousand five hundred years and we are still
shooting and robbing each other for no apparent gain other than greed
Maybe just maybe we can find the middle way and live in peace and harmony through right thought and right action
