53.

Even with only half my wits about me, I would travel the way of the Tao, the only thing to fear is getting off course. For it is a safe, wide open highway. Oh, but men love to get sidetracked.

Politicians’ vanity projects get funded while infrastructures crumble, and natural resources get depleted. They wear expensive suits, own trendy status symbols, drink the best whiskey, dine at exclusive restaurants, and have more toys than they have time to play with. This is white-collar piracy. It is most definitely not what it means to surf the Tao.
