Tao #20 ~ Different
Ф

The world turns, the worm turns, the people lift up their beers and cheer another victory in the seasonal ball game, watch soaps and absorb themselves in the minutiae of whether a star broke a nail or is getting divorced for the 5th time. People's fears are rarely realized. 98% of their worries never come true but they spend a huge amount of time worrying about what will never happen. The mystic spends time thinking about positive things or not thinking at all. The mystic spends time in meditation while others spend time running around the wheel in the cage seeking to gather more money for a new SUV. The masses have clear loyalties to ball players simply because of an amount of goals scored. The masses follow politicians who shout things which give them more fear adding vague promises about the future which are rarely fulfilled. The masses hate the enemy without ever seeing his face. The masses strive for more consumption but the mystic is fulfilled through achieving DivineUnity.
