"Heaven and earth are not kind –
Thus the ten thousand creatures become as straw dogs to
them.
The sage is not kind –
Thus the 100 families become as straw dogs to him."
-Lao Tsu(Zi)
The inexhaustible quality of nothings, such as the substance of the empty air, that science has begun to probe. Such was the old "Sine of Silence" which I always heard as "the Sound of Silence".
Such is the same way, even different, than many words make less sense expressed, such as studying for hours and not being able to remember but maybe a little. The Way of Heaven perplexes even today, as we try to distract ourselves from even these timeworn mysteries: timeworn, yet still as fresh and inexplicable as ever.
