   Noname say, do work bad enough and you get to sit and watch those who can   
   do separate themselves from those who only think they can do, meanwhile   
   your work does itself since it is only to observe and respond when called   
   upon by the flow of events.  Confucius was not a Taoist.  Nor am me.  I   
   understand what Gurdjieff meant, I think, when he said that "man cannot do"   
   in those words or others similar.  Opportunities are presented, responses   
   are uttered, life goes on, a party for those attending who know they're   
   attending, others present may have different views.
