Lao tzu says: When the highest type of men hear the Tao (truth), They try hard to live in accordance with it, When the mediocre hear the Tao, They seem to be aware and yet unaware of it.
The highest type of scholar.
I say this without any disrespect, for I did that myself.
I am quite sure that the reaction of the majority of reader first looking into Lao tzu\'s Book will be to laugh.
When the lowest type hear of Tao, They break into loud laughter, If it were not laughed at, it would not be Tao.
