We Did This

A leader is best when he is neither seen nor heard, not so good when he is adored and glorified, worst when he is hated and despised. But of a good leader, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, the people will say, “We did this ourselves.” | |
— Lao-Tzu | |
[If you elect an amoral con-man to be your President and he drives the country into deeper debt, continues to destroy the middle-class by transferring wealth to the top 1% and who engages in off-the-cuff twitter diplomacy, perhaps we should remind ourselves that “elections have consequences” and modify Lao-Tzu’s quote to: “We did this TO ourselves.” — KMAB] | |

Compassionate Toward Yourself
Posted in Lyrics, Philosophy, Poetry, Quotes, tagged Cowboy In Me, Lao-Tzu, On Compassion, On Patience, Philosophy, Poetry, Quotes on September 10, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Simplicity, patience, compassion. | |
These three are your greatest treasures. | |
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. | |
Patient with both friends and enemies, | |
you accord with the way things are. | |
Compassionate toward yourself, | |
you reconcile all beings in the world. | |
― Lao Tzu | |
[I find the struggle to be “compassionate toward yourself” to be a lifetime objective. I guess that’s just the cowboy in me. — KMAB] | |
