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.

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

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

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

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

    Did she call you "Killer"?

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