"Lin Yu Tang, Master, what beautiful rendering has he given of the Tao Te Ching, of Confucius, and Chuang Tzu !"
"Yet, he is a fool".
"I do not understand."
"Has he not also written the book: 'The Importance of Living?"
"Indeed he has, it seems full of the Way, of True Words also."
"But have you not read that he advocates even more overpopulation than
his world (1939) was already burdened with? He condemns the childlessness as
some sort of anti-social behaviour. In
reality it is he who is anti-social. He wants the Way to be
S.R.O., Standing Room Only on the planet. The Way, our Reality,
sees to it that no species EVER overpopulate to a dangerous level, only man is
excempt from this equilibrium through knowing the
Way. The Way expects man to keep check himself, to keep in check
himself. Five million, instead of five milliard. It is all that
Earth can endure. S.R.O. clearly is not the Way." [38]
