| Both praise and blame cause concern, |

| The object of hope and fear is the self |

| Who distinguishes himself from the |
| world may be given the world, But who |
| regards himself as the world may accept |
| the world. |

/ Following \
| |
| When the great man learns the Way, he |
| follows it with diligence; When the |
| common man learns the Way, he follows |
| it on occasion; When the mean man |
| learns the Way, he laughs out loud; |
| Those who do not laugh, do not learn at |
| all. Therefore it is said: Who |
| understands the Way seems foolish; Who |
| progresses on the Way seems to fail; |
| Who follows the Way seems to wander. |
| For the finest harmony appears plain; |
| The brightest truth appears coloured; |
| The richest character appears |
| incomplete; The bravest heart appears |
| meek; The simplest nature appears |
| inconstant. The square, perfected, has |
| no corner; Music, perfected, has no |
| melody; Love, perfected, has no climax; |
| Art, perfected, has no meaning. The Way |
| can be neither sensed nor known: It |

/ When alerted to an intrusion by \
| tinkling glass or otherwise, 1) Calm |
| yourself 2) Identify the intruder 3) If |
| hostile, kill him. |
| |
| Step number 3 is of particular |
| importance. If you leave the guy alive |
| out of misguided softheartedness, he |
| will repay your generosity of spirit by |
| suing you for causing his subsequent |
| paraplegia and seek to force you to |
| support him for the rest of his rotten |
| life. In court he will plead that he |
| was depressed because society had |
| failed him, and that he was looking for |
| Mother Teresa for comfort and to offer |
| his services to the poor. In that |
| lawsuit, you will lose. If, on the |
| other hand, you kill him, the most that |
| you can expect is that a relative will |
| bring a wrongful death action. You will |
| have two advantages: first, there be |
| only your story; forget Mother Teresa. |
| Second, even if you lose, how much |
| could the bum's life be worth anyway? A |
| Lot less than 50 years worth of |
| paralysis. Don't play George Bush and |
| Saddam Hussein. Finish the job. |

/ "Speak, thou vast and venerable head," \
| muttered Ahab, "which, though |
| ungarnished with a beard, yet here and |
| there lookest hoary with mosses; speak, |
| mighty head, and tell us the secret |
| thing that is in thee. Of all divers, |
| thou has dived the deepest. That head |
| upon which the upper sun now gleams has |
| moved amid the world's foundations. |
| Where unrecorded names and navies rust, |
| and untold hopes and anchors rot; where |
| in her murderous hold this frigate |
| earth is ballasted with bones of |
| millions of the drowned; there, in that |
| awful water-land, there was thy most |
| familiar home. Thou hast been where |
| bell or diver never went; has slept by |
| many a sailer's side, where sleepless |
| mothers would give their lives to lay |
| them down. Thou saw'st the locked |
| lovers when leaping from their flaming |
| ship; heart to heart they sank beneath |
| the exulting wave; true to each other, |
| when heaven seemed false to them. Thou |
| saw'st the murdered mate when tossed by |
| pirates from the midnight deck; for |
| hours he fell into the deeper midnight |
| of the insatiate maw; and his murderers |
| still sailed on unharmed -- while swift |
| lightnings shivered the neighboring |
| ship that would have borne a righteous |
| husband to outstretched, longing arms. |
| O head! thou has seen enough to split |
| the planets and make an infidel of |
| Abraham, and not one syllable is |
| thine!" |
| |
