When the eternal Way is lost, people resort to wisdom.
When wisdom is lost, people resort to tradition. When tradition is lost, people resort to law. When law is lost, people resort to equilibrium morality. When equilibrium morality is lost, people resort to brute force. |

Why can't Bush be a good president? (sorry for taking things off topic, but couldn't resist
) Anyways, doesn't this raise a greater question of why people can't progress? I mean the world is smaller thanks to technology, but our behavior has been stagnant it seems. I mean how old is the Tao? And why does so much of it still apply to the problems we have today, in many cases seemingly unchanged for centuries?

Because no matter how much we evolve and our technology improves... We never get smarter.

Good corrective. However I'm still of the opinion that humans are the dumbest animals.

I am forced to disagree on the behalf of a human I suppose the men in black put it best
" A person is rational and intelligent, people are frightened and stupid!"

I think that's the point I agree up to. Human as an animal are dumb when you put us together, we get frightened at what the others might do, think to much and get stupid. But left alone we can be ok(some time). It's late and I think I don't make any sense.
