"When superior people hear of the Way, they carry it out with diligence. When middling people hear of the Way, it sometimes seems to be there, sometimes not. When lesser people hear of the Way, they ridicule it greatly. If they didn't laugh at it, it wouldn't be the Way."
~ Lao-tzu, 6th century bce Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism from Tao Te Ching
You ever have any friends laugh at you for so passionately pursuing your highest ideals?
Me, too.
It can be annoying until you create a peer group of peeps who share your values.
In the meantime (and after as well), remember that people have ridiculed the concept of the Way (or the idea of striving to thinkArete, self-actualizing, self-improvement, etc.) for centuries.
Here's to carrying out your Way with diligence.
Inspired by: Lao-tzu
