SOMEHOW IN

Briefing
Use Pharaoh for 'where and what'.
With a whole lot of patience a circus clown caricatures both gimmicks, situations and masks that favour the well-to-do or upper class. Some of these humans get stuck inside masks. They go on to feel isolated, and this glide can at times be equalled with "constant progress". Beware! And beware with patience.

Briefing

Briefing cat "The secret waits for the insight," according to the Tao Te Ching, chapter 1, in Raymond Blakney's sensitive and critical translation.
      This archive section takes you to some Taoist (Daoist) classics of old. And since translations differ fairly much, "Believe only half of what you see" too. The last quotations is part of a proverb.
The excellent masters of old,
Subtle, mysterious, mystic, acute,
Were much too profound for their times.
Since they were not then understood,
It is better to tell how they looked.

- All from chapter 15.

The wise ones of old had subtle wisdom and depth of understanding,
So profound that they could not be understood. ...

- Dr. Lin Yutang's translation, from chapter 15.

In addition it may well be said:
Thinking
"Not everybody likes a human. Factors such as cramped conditions (habitat) and attaining great size oneself come in to show that."
Therefore the Sage embraces the One,
And becomes the model of the world.
He does not reveal himself -

- All from chapter 22.

This is what is meant by being critical; you ask thorough-going questions: (1) "If you don't understand them, how can you say they are excellent?" (2) "If you don't reveal yourself, how on earth can you become a model of the world?"
