Lean left on economy, Lean right on culture = winning formula

The pub test should never be disregarded

OK it all got sorted. I just need to confirm who took the notes home. I thought I put the beer coasters in Robbo's coat, but he says they are not there.
Well anyways It was ALL like my walk home after the pub, sorta stay middle of the path but, you have sway a little to the left and then a little to the right at times to avoid stuff, sway too far and you end up getting cleaned up big time. You will get cleaned up either side of the road. If you sway way too far right or way too far left you will be bashed up but almost the same bunch of thugs in a really bad neighbourhood, they will hold you down and you wont let you break free while they kick anything worth living for outa you.
Remember even if you think you are in about the centre of the best path home, if you do not sway a little at the correct time, the whole world can leap up and smack you in the face. Like gravity the threat is always there.
I will report from the notes when found, but probably I will have to attend another session to do a review. (because my mates absolutely insist we Must keep up to date).
Cheers

I have been reading Marcus Aurelius' meditations again. I have been a bit slack lately with my philosophical advancement. I will dust off the old Western Classics soon to allocate more time with my reading, and post a few quotes. I might even have another read of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching for some Eastern balance.

Love the Tao

Whenever I become perplexed by the enigma of life, I read Lao Tzu to become even more perplexed... and start ranting about the way of water and suchlike.

There was a version in street English which was fun, but couldn't find it again.

And just like that, I found it again.

Have a read, lots of modern slang, but it works IMO

Close. Leederville but we make a point of varying the meeting sites.

If pressed, I'd go for Epicurus with a smattering of Socrates if I ever remember how to do it.

When I read this, the first thing I wanted to ask was "May I have the recipe?"...
