The Tao of Poo

Praise and disgrace cause fear.
Honor and great distress are like the body.

What does it mean that praise and disgrace cause fear?
Praise leads to weakness.
Getting it causes fear, losing it causes fear.
This is why praise and disgrace cause fear.

What does it mean that honor and great distress are like the body?
The reason for great distress is the body.
Without it, what distress could there be?

Therefore:
He who treasures his body as much as the world
Can care for the world.
He who loves his body as much as the world
Can be entrusted with the world.

And thus you need not fear the eye of the Tigger.

Poo gettin' his shit packed..serves him right for his transgression of last week.

Most people I advise to go w/ your gut. I'm not certain that's prudent w/ you.

Trooper York said...

I can't go with my gut.

I have to many choices.

Tigger, tigger, churning shite
In its forays of the night,
What immoral hand or eye
Dare frame thy capric symmetry?

T, Troop!

Chickenlittle, Great adaptation of a poem I had to memorize in HS.

ndspinelli said...

My English teacher nun would not approve, however.

William Blake says he knows that poesy.

One of my HS teachers said I reminded her of William Blake.

She wasn't that old, though, so...maybe she meant William Conrad?

Chip S. said...

Or Robert Blake.

Did she call you "Killer"?

chickelit said...

I think Troop has all the Beretta jokes holed up.

blake said...

And that's the name of that tune!

blake said...

Reminds me, I gotta go shoot my wife.

The Dude said...

You little rascal you...

blake said...

I mean, I gotta go out to the car to get my gun, only to come back and find someone already shot her!

The Dude said...

Yeah, some guys have all the luck...

blake said...

That was...I think it was Dennis Miller (or maybe a guest on his show) who said, "Nobody gets that lucky."
