I love this: "Knowledge without virtue is like a cart without a wheel."
There are people I admire because they're knowledgeable about certain subjects, and because they help us to stay calm and rational in such stressful times. But I don't think anyone should be put on a pedestal. Especially those who want to be put on one.
Thanks for sharing this Taoist and Confucian wisdom, Diamond-Michael.
I am with Confucius on this one. What is important is The Knowing, as in Know Thyself. What anyone does about something is the Tao. Caution must be had in relating to those with no "knowing" or having disdain for knowledge. Like the water, they will find their 'lowest place' naturally while others find a higher plane of thought and response.
