Moral Return

The flesh is morality's home. The skin is morality's defence. Flesh draws us toward the soul of the unknown. The skin reminds us of our inclination to know, and so to keep proper distance, balanced and reserved. The situation is that simple. In flesh, humans seek infinite propagation, to impregnate that which they do not know. The infinite, alas, does not permit knowledge; it must be left at the door if we are to enter. The skin ensures this, keeping flesh and the unknown differentiated. Tao split into two long ago. It made us to return. But in returning should we seek to reduce two to one again? The answer is simple: no. Tao has no name. It therefore cannot be you. Be stupid. Leave the rest to Tao. This is morality.
