A
Jade stone is useless before it is processed; it is also said that a man is
good-for-nothing until he is educated. Well, I submit that would depend on what
kind of education he gets. Oh yes, some are worth more than others, and the
expensive ones are not always the best ones. It is one thing to be book smart,
and quite another to be street smart. One who is educated in the ways of the
Dao and practices them each and every day, is one who has become a sage.
Potential is nothing unless it is realized. To realize the Dao is to give
oneself a great opportunity at peace and harmony.
