Chapter 71
When we assume we know something
we immediately dismiss it
as familiar and look no farther.
Unknowingly,
we soon become superficial
which leads to arrogant
ignorance.
This is a great disease among
us.
Though Life is extraordinary,
we regard it as common.
The mastercraftsmen become
aware of this disease
within themselves and strive
toward wakefulness.
Abandoning assumption, they
examine
even the most common occurrences
and discover the extraordinary
within them.
In this way they overcome
the most common of
human illnesses:
ignorance.
