the ancient mastersdidn't try to educate the people
but kindly taught them to not-know
when they think that they know the answers
people are difficult to guide
when they know that they don't know
people can find their own way
if you want to learn how to govern
avoid being clever or rich
the simplest pattern is the clearest
content with an ordinary life
you can show all people the way
back to their own true nature

Sushi ... I'm blank?
Do explain this piece of beautiful writing...
im surrounded with "i know all - don't know the self" category....
for the past 8 months...every so call high-powered bureaucrat/minister/government official i came across was so rigid in their approach to life and the experiences it had taught them...that they feel..they know all...
the reason why i landed up leading each of these teams (in the training sessions) was the fact that i had no pre-concieved notions...i know nothing of the government system...im not a part of the system..hence i was the only one who could visualiza outside the box...
it's so starnge...im traying to be a part of the system...when i know im my best observing it from a distance..
