In a comment, Geoff Young pointed to this: Chapter 71 of the Tao Te Ching…
Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – chapter 71
Knowing ignorance is strength.
Ignoring knowledge is sickness.If one is sick of sickness, then one is not sick.
The sage is not sick because he is sick of sickness.
Therefore he is not sick.
On my mind today, in fact it’s my mantra today, is a line from Catholic Mass, the prayer called “Glory Be”:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.
Somehow that’s very comforting today.
And in the same thread, Jukebox sent me this, which is comforting today:
Thank you Gentlemen. Thank You.
