The Confucian Knowledge: A Parallel Poem

Only you know, you only know, you know only
When you know that you know
When you know that you know not
You need to know when you know not that you know
You know that you know not when you know not
Or you know not that you know not when you know not




Static Statistics Suggested

17:        the number of muscles you use to smile
43:        the number of muscles you use to frown
            --why not smile more often?

50:        your weight in kg on earth
1390:    your weight in kg on sun
            --why try to lose or gain weight?

206:      the number of bones in an adults body
350:      the number of bones in an infants body
            --is that why children are less stubborn?

8:         the number of cents worth of gold in a human body
50:        the number of tons of gold dissolved in one cubic kilometer of seawater
            --is this the reason for all human poverty?
