REFRAIN from promising things you're unsure of being able to keep or stick to ahead, and there will be less broken marriage promises. Broken promises . . . young and innocent ones should also be spared of it. [T. Kinnes] EVEN A FOOL can be thought to be wise in his way if he holds his peace. And he that shuts his lips in great luck can be esteemed as a man of understanding. [Cf. Proverbs 17:28]
WE SHOULD go for the great art of having as little misery as possible. [Cf. Samuel
Johnson]
ContentsA Briefing: Advancing a Good Life
TO SEE things clearly, learn to observe in dispassioned ways and find out of the
formations (forms) that appear to operate. That is good counsel.The mentions that are here already, are but fragments yet. Their foundation is a White Daoism (Taoism) recension. It helps being clear-sighted and behave well, in fine alignment with id (natural libido). Of course, more goes into a well calculated life than that. More goes into life than seeing clearly and building well for oneself and one's family and near ones. One 'bag' of problem consists of the stubborn gross ones in society. They surely ruin much. And why not think there are evil streaks in many a modern society too? Modern societies are too destructive, remember. It is no help to be beneath the evil sides of life and others and systems and all that. To route out wild geese chases is essential too, not just evils that keep coiling nearby. To be bold in public without some sort of bastion, shelter and back-up, may be too costy: you may be muted. Go for safe ways instead. At times they can be found. You may work on yourself (getting better ideas, linking up better, improving your odds, take dancing lessons and courses in contemplation) in the meantime. If you are favoured with honorable options as to what to do and who to go along with, don't burn your bridges all at once. A good life takes a life-time. Much unforeseen may crop up in time, and it helps to have many options and compadres along the road. Sage Words from the Ancient Lore
