Stand on tiptoe and you will fall over.
Stand akimbo and you cannot walk.
If you'd discovered what your life is really about
why would you need people to love you?
If there was anything remarkable about you
would you try to become a celebrity?
If you'd done anything truly excellent
why would you need to boast?
Will anyonelse continue praising your work when you leave off?
Those with a sense of the cosmic energy flow [/Tao]
view all such things as the trash left after a party –
even when it's in full flower …
Those with a real sense of the cosmic energy flow
know better than to get sucked into that kind of thing.
