The Empty Boat - Chuang Tzu
Who can free himself of achievement and fame
Then descend and be lost
Amidst the masses of men?
He will flow like Tao, unseen…
He will go about like life itself,
With no name and no home.
Simple is he, without.
To all appearances he is a fool.
His steps leave no trace.
He has no power.
He achieves nothing.
He has no reputation.
Since he judges no one,
No one judges him.
Such is the perfect man.
His boat is empty.

No one judges him."
Beautiful! - however, I wonder if the above is true!
But then no statement is perfect.
Just the beauty of it should be enjoyed & digested...it shouldn't be taken as some kind of formula in life..not completely. ;-)
