Back around '69 or early '70s, a musician named Gary Wright had a bluesy rock band called Spooky Tooth. He played the organ with a leslie added to it.
they did a song called "Die and go to Hell" if I recall correctly.
It began with a strumming guitar and the words:
Someone said......he who knows and knows.........knows nothing...yea.
but he who knows..he knows of nothing....he really knows.........

wise words.

Here is a good one GK, if according to daoism no thought is always better than thought, silence is always better than speach and no action is always better than action, Why bother to take another breath?

because whatever you are talking about is bullshit. You cannot be alive and have no thoughts, this is death.

You can also never not be taking any action, this is also death.

Silence and speech are not complete opposites.

taoism is more about moderation, not pure inaction. not thinking and silence are used as catalysts for spontaneity. (as far as i know)
(sorry if im stepping on toes here, GK)

Just noticed your sig'. Did you write that? I'm assuming you have as you haven't added the quoted person's name.

If it is yours, then I'll just say this. You are going to be a great man some day.

Sorry this is to you preoqpy...
