Wisdom is like so sucky

Ta-Wan


A TV, a wise person, a complete shit of a child and a homeless bum enter a story together. The child is Tao playing the game and acting out what it is like to be a little shit of a child and has no purpose beyond this. The bum is Tao acting the role of a have-nothing, the wise person is Tao playing out the role of always knowing better than anyone and the consequences of this.

On a TV in a shop window, Tao acts out the role of seeing what it is like to have fame, calamity, unmatched power, sporting ability, anger, hate, jealousy, pain, joy and sorrow. In the street, Tao plays out these roles; seeing what it is like to be a mother of six, an abused child, a child abuser, a complete loser, a man who is unlucky and cat whose life is sucky.

As the child Tao looked upon the wise person as dull, as the wise person Tao looked upon the power monger on TV and questioned their actions, as the power monger Tao seemed to be to blame for the state of it all, and, as the bum, Tao made instant tax free earnings from an upturned hat.
