  9. This poll shows YOUNG Americans place less importance on the values of the older generations. Maybe because they recognize the emptiness of the elders' hypocrisy? Very on brand for #WSJ.

    "It is difficult for the people to be governed because of the reckless example of the rulers; hypocrites cannot maintain order in the atmosphere of disrespect they themselves created."

  10. Tao Te Ching
    Stephen Mitchell #translation

    Ch. 20

    Stop thinking, and end your problems.
    What difference between yes and no?
    What difference between success and failure?
    Must you value what others value,
    avoid what others avoid?

    How ridiculous!

    Other people are excited,
    as though they were at a parade.
    I alone don’t care,
    I alone am expressionless,
    like an infant before it can smile.

    Other people have what they need;
    I alone possess nothing.

    I alone drift about,
    like someone without a home.
    I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

    Other people are bright;
    I alone am dark.
    Other people are sharper;
    I alone am dull.
    Other people have a purpose;

    I alone don’t know.
    I drift like a wave on the ocean,
    I blow as aimless as the wind.

    I am different from ordinary people.
    I drink from the Great Mother’s breasts.
