Pretty
much everything in this world is phony to one extent or another and most people
are magicians. They try to trick you, delude you, and create illusions. That
is, pretty much everything except the Dao. The Dao is true. It practices no
charlatanism, no trickery. The rules apply to everyone. There are no exceptions
made for anyone. This is not the case in the material world where the magicians
attempt to weave their ‘magic’ for their benefit. Do not be an audience to them
or be fooled by their chicanery. Invest in the truth of the Dao and live a life
of wisdom and honesty.
