20. Get rid of “learning”
Get rid of “learning” and there will be no anxiety.
How much difference is there between “yes” and “no”?
Howfar removed from each other are “good” and “evil”?
Yet what the people are in awe of cannot be disregarded.
I am scattered, never having been in a comfortable center.
All the people enjoy themselves as if they are at the festival of the great sacrifice,
Or climbing the Spring platform.
I alone remain, not yet having shown myself.
Like an infant who has not yet laughed.
Weary, like one despairing of no home to return to.
All the people enjoy extra
While I have left everything behind.
I am ignorant of the minds of others.
So dull!
While average people are clear and bright, I alone am obscure.
Average prople know everything.
To me alone all seems covered.
So flat!
Like the ocean.
Blowing around!
It seems there is no place to rest.
Everybody has a goal in mind.
I alone am ignorant as a bumpkin.
I alone differ from people.
I enjoy being nourished by the mother.

What I see here is a longing to be like others, and the failure to look within yourself for the joys and satisfactions that YOU can (and must) bring to your own life!
