Tao Stoic 123

"What about a sane World of Peace Master. Would there be a World-Government necessary at all?"

"It would be necessary at first and complementary later, a resting one. 'As the top of a tree, unconsciously there' (Chuangtse). It is all about the difference between insane apes, forced to live together, 1000 times too dense, therefore needing strict laws and sanctions, thus war, rape, devastation, and, ... sane Humans, living together but brought up, formed, taught, having a Code for living together. Such a world is best described by Chuangtse (Lin Yutang, Laotse) It shows the automatic correct behaviour, just a Natural Code. 'Doing right, they did not know that it was called justice. Kind to one another, they did not know that it was called humanity. They were straight and did not know it was called faithfulness. They were proper and did not know it was called honesty. They moved about and called to one another for help, and did not call it favour'. This, now, is all about the correct Natural Code for living together, the Way of Human Dignity. No pressure of law and overcrowding, but just being right by nature."
