I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Even though I'm not a Christian, I'd certainly consider that valid advice. When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. To this non-Taoist, that one seems pretty wise, also. I try to consider the message, and not the messenger.
