theist 1 Report post Posted May 2, 2003 Nice little story from China that I think illustartes the exloitative mentality nicely. This mentality cannot cannot be carried into the spiritual world. We must leave it off as so much unwanted baggage. IMO that includes going "out on the pick" instead of book distribution. THE MAN WHO SAW ONLY GOLD There was a man of Ch'i who desired to have gold. He dressed up properly and went out early in the morning to the market. He went straight to the gold dealers shop and snatched the gold away and walked off. The officers arrested him and questioned him: "Why, the people were all there. Why did you rob them of gold(in broad daylight)?" And the man replied,"I only saw the gold. I didn't see any people." -Liehtse ---------- I certainly see this in myself. Always in want and not caring about those around me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
