Alright, I'll say it. The Tao is Silent is a delightful book. There. I said it.
That's not exactly the preface that this deserves but I'm not of a mind to worry about matters such as that at the moment.
The this is this:
If you want to get at the plain truth,
Forget about right and wrong.
For the conflict between right and wrong,
Is the sickness of the human mind.
I'm not sure if this is Lao Tse quoted in an Alan Watts book, or Watts himself. Must be the former.

Incidentally, the neighbour(s) across the way have had a penchant of late to repeat certain songs repeatedly. Sex on Fire by Kings Of leon and I'm Alone With You (Tonight) by.. who's that by again? Perhaps strangely, this repetition doesn't bother me (yet).
