some book of tao by the author Sun Cee written around 500 b.c almost the same generation as Sun Tzu with his Art of War. there from different provinces about 90 years apart. wish i could find that book again can,t find it anywhere. in fact it's been so long since i looked I forgot the name of it. Got it from a tatoo guy in shacktown.

i liked that book.

the trick is to find away to not judge anything but just look. to see without looking.

bad translation

um to look without looking for a reason.

ahh,

Sounds like Jeremy to me, but when you're like that your sense of responsiblity flows down the drain cause you've spent too much time living in the moment. Our society isn't geared towards those goals.
