Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line.
- The TTC points out that Heaven and Earth are eternal, and the reason they last forever is that they don't ever think of themselves.
- (It's not like we ever hear the sky whining, "What about meeee?")
- So the sages take another cue from Heaven and Earth by always putting others first.
- In the end, the sages actually achieve their goals by not being all grasp-y all the time.
