Daily Saying for June 22nd, 2011
If you are taught but do not learn, you are drinking from a net. Make the effort to get a cup so you don't dehydrate.
~至道
However, the focus here should be what actually constitutes life. We teachers are not alive but are merely conduits for greater peace, love and understanding. Of course this is a deeper goal, but this saying is more for the student in all of us rather than the teacher who can yet understand the futility of the net. Teachers already have cups (we hope).
when you learn, but do not teach, you are denying cups water, better pour so they don't dehydrate.
