The highest excellence is like (that of) water. The excellence of water appears in its benefiting all things, and in its occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike. Hence (its way) is near to (that of) the Tao.
The excellence of a residence is in (the suitability of) the place; that of the mind is in abysmal stillness; that of associations is in their being with the virtuous; that of government is in its securing good order; that of (the conduct of) affairs is in its ability; and that of (the initiation of) any movement is in its timeliness.
And when (one with the highest excellence) does not wrangle (about his low position), no one finds fault with him.

Tao Te Ching

Heaven is long-enduring and earth continues long. The reason why heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is because they do not live of, or for, themselves. This is how they are able to continue and endure.Therefore the sage puts his own person last, and yet it is found in the foremost place; he treats his person as if it were foreign to him, and yet that person is preserved. Is it not because he has no personal and private ends, that therefore such ends are realized?
Mcqueen...
we give names to people by what they do. we admire their work. we like them from far by seeing what they do. and when they depart , we mourn. why? because we wont be able to see more of his work. and we feel we have lost something in life..a great loss..
we create ideals for our life without a sign of awareness..we make god out of less than a normal person. and when they depart, we mourn as if we lost our god..
A friend (designer)called up just to share the grief of his great lost, in a voice so low as if there is no meaning in his life anymore. and i thought, why this self created craziness for a person who was just transforming his mental sickness in forms of garments, and create an awe to attract similar sick minds.
by looking at this video, one can easily see the sickness of mind, and assume THE END of such uncured mind.
