The Master leads by
emptying people's minds,
filling their bellies,
weakening their ambitions,
and making them become strong.
Preferring simplicity and freedom from desires,
avoiding the pitfalls of knowledge and wrong action.

For those who practice not-doing,
everything will fall into place.


This is complete and utter SHIT!

The Master leads by
emptying people's minds,
(creating mindless drones)

filling their bellies,
(Making them content)

weakening their ambitions,
and making them become strong.
(Giving them nothing to strive for, thus making them weaker than you)

Preferring simplicity and freedom from desires,
(Freedom is a great principle but withought direction leads to stagnation)

avoiding the pitfalls of knowledge and wrong action.
(Setting up an ignorant, and pliable working class: by convincing them that there is a wrong, they come to you looking for what is "right")

For those who practice not-doing,
everything will fall into place.
(and if it doesn't you are doing it wrong, Come on can you be any more blatently obvious!)

Don't take anything at face value.
Everybody wants something.

Those that want to tell you how to better yourself, really want to own you.

And I am no exception.
