Rulers: 'I know what is best'

If they think they know how to rule the world, let them try, for a million lifetimes let them try.

Then they can see how they failed, and then regret wasting their lives trying.

Once done they may look inwards for guidance and not try to shape that which is projected.

Follow the wind

Follow leaders and be forever in the shade of stupidity and greed.

Follow the learned and be forever confused.

Look to nature and she will serve you well.

Mad loops

The big mouth causes fear and panic.

In times of fear and panic, people huddle around a leader with a big mouth.

 

Change from the ground up

You can't force out a government without it being replaced by another.

An ant can't push down a large tree. But he can, with a team, remove its foundation and witness it tumble.

Governance

A leader with a big mouth makes all the wrong moves.

Govern your life from within. Tell no one of your achievements, tell no one of your failures.

Accept both as the way things are.

Wise leader of self

They who want to best govern themselves.

Should not try, should not force a thing.

Govern by giving full control to nature.

Trust by her past achievements, she knows.

Wise leaders?

If one leader had true wisdom.

They'd quit.
