Tao Bible - Matthew 6:19

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
~ King James version ~

Not collecting treasures prevents stealing.
Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.
~ from Verse 3 of the Tao Te Ching ~
It is quite interesting that the ruling elite in both the US and China somehow have missed reading these snippets! In both nations, the well-to-do worship the god of wealth more than any other god.

Maybe we would live in a more just world if these folks paid the slightest heed to the words of Jesus and Lao Tzu!

If you're interested in reading more from this experimental series, go to the Tao Bible Index page.
