Useless

The outwardly beautiful person has troubles as no matter how free of ego, they will always project the seed of ego into each person they meet.

The smart and reliable person always gets far too much put upon them.

The wise are always being asked questions.

The fool is always at loss.

It takes a certain something to appear average on the outside and exist in deep seated calm.

Very nicely put, I find much that is true here :-)

In being there is nothing happening, or so it seems, but somehow everything that needs to be done gets done and all is as it should be . . .
