About

“The first part of this verse could be read as a lament, but I think Lao Tzu is being a bit punk here. He doesn't need happiness, wealth, learning, or society: he has the Way. Callum Passells takes the lead here: his instruction "Jeff (Henderson) - esque"! Cory gets the final word.” - Jake Baxendale
