“Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it.
Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books.
Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it.
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true”

RELATIVITY
.
We know beauty because there is ugly.
We know good because is evil.
Being and not being,
having and not having,
create each other.
Difficult and easy,
long and short,
high and low, define each other,
just as before and after follow each other.
The dialectic of sound gives voice to music,
always transforming “is” from “was”
as the ancestors of “to be”.
The wise
teach without telling,
allow without commanding,
have without possessing,
care without claiming.
In this way we harvest eternal importance
because we never announce it.
