How Long Must A Man Wait

How long must a man wait

To be dealt his want from the hand of fate

T'is been already a tortuous wait

Or maybe for a man, t'is too late

T'is his fate?

To forever wait?

A man's need is great

To participate

To generate

And most of all

Facilitate

His own fate.

How long must a man wait.

I think I found some sort of answer:

Right around the 01:50 mark

So, if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen
To these words of heed
Be a giant grain of sand
Words of wisdom
Yes, I can

Like what is written in Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 56

Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.

Keep your mouth closed.
Guard your senses.
Temper your sharpness.
Simplify your problems.
Mask your brightness.
Be at one with the dust of the earth.
This is primal union.

He who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and enemies,
With good and harm, with honour and disgrace.
This therefore is the highest state of man.


(translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English)
