Those Who Think That The Rewarding Things

As Any Old Taoist Walking Out Of The Woods Can Tell You, Simple-minded Does Not Necessarily Mean Stupid.

Treat Gain And Loss The Same.' Don't Be Intimidated. Don't Make A Big Deal Of Anything - Just Accept Things As They Come To You.

Like Silence After Noise, Or Cool, Clear Water On A Hot, Stuffy Day, Emptiness Cleans Out The Messy Mind And Charges Up The Batteries Of Spiritual Energy. Many People Are Afraid Of Emptiness, However, Because It Reminds Them Of Loneliness.

The Major Lesson Tiggers Need To Learn Is That If They Don't Control Their Impulses, Their Impulses Will Control Them. No Matter How Much They Do, Tiggers Are Never Satisfied Because They Don't Know The Feeling Of Accomplishment That Eventually Comes When One Persistently Applies One's Will To The Attaining Of Non-immediately-reachable Goals.

Many People Are Afraid Of Emptiness, However, Because It Reminds Them Of Loneliness. Everything Has To Be Filled In, It Seems-appointment Books, Hillsides, Vacant Lots-but When All The Spaces Are Filled, The Loneliness Really Begins. Then The Groups Are Joined, The Classes Are Signed Up For, And The Gift-to-yourself Items Are Bought. When The Loneliness Starts Creeping In The Door, The Television Set Is Turned On To Make It Go Away. But It Doesn't Go Away. So Some Of Us Do Instead, And After Discarding The Emptiness Of The Big Congested Mess, We Discover The Fullness Of Nothing.
