Lao-Tzu said:

Excerpt

“What enables a nation to survive is attainment of the Way;

what causes a nation to perish is obstruction of reason.”

(Page 150)

Hermit Poet’s Comments: The President of the United States and most leaders in the House and Senate only look after their party’s interest. America is currently in a free fall because of a lack of good leadership across the board. When those in power are drunk on delusion and propaganda, the country will become rudderless and rapidly drift towards everyone for themselves which moves towards chaos.
