lyrics

But we are fundamentally ashamed of pain.
Because we are taught that giving in to pain –weeping, or something like that–
is unmanly; sissy.
Or something like that.
Now, it’s a very dangerous doctrine, (a very dangerous doctrine), that a human being should always be rigid in conditions of suffering.

I often like to quote a passage from that Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu, which says:
“Man at his birth is supple and tender;
in death, he is rigid and hard.
Plants when they are young, are pliant and soft;
but when dead, they are brittle and dry.
Thus,
tenderness and softness are the companions of life, but rigidity and hardness are the companions of death.”
In other words...
there is strength in weakness. (Alan Watts)
