Intolerance
Growing up, I heard it said that some people have “book smarts” but no “common sense”. This meant that some people, although highly educated, seemed lost concerning the simple things. This is a long standing observation. The Daodejing has some similar statements:
“The wise one does not know many things; He who knows many things is not wise.”
“The more knowledge you seek, the less you will understand.”
Now
Many people are always looking to the future with the hope that things will change for the better. This year will be different. This week will be a brand new week. Often, our concern with what will be is a way of proclaiming that despite what has been, more satisfactory events are surely on the horizon. Yet, every moment we spend thinking of what the future holds for us is a moment of right now that we’ve missed.
