When we renounce learning we have no troubles. The multitude of men look satisfied and pleased; as if enjoying a full banquet, as if mounted on a tower in spring. I alone seem listless and still, my desires having as yet given no indication of their presence. I am like an infant which has not yet smiled. I alone am different from other men, but I value the nursing-mother (the Tao).
