the taoistic crime
The old farmer, plowing his fields with a pair of bulls, was asked by a neighbor why he did not use oxen.
"I don't want to use oxen," replied the farmer, "I want to use bulls."
"Well," continued the neighbor, "If you don't want to use oxen, why don't you use horses?"
"I don't want to use horses!" retorted the farmer, "I want to use bulls!"
"Well, perhaps," tried the neighbor, „you could try using that new tractor your son has just bought."
"I don't want to use tractors, either, I want to use bulls." reaffirmed the farmer.
"Why do you only want to use bulls?" asked the neighbor at a loss.
"Because," said the old boy, "I don't want them to think that life is all romance."

This is simply the situation in which you are born, in which you have been conditioned. Nobody wants you to know that life is simply romance. And that is the taoistic crime -- because that is the whole teaching, that life is nothing but romance.
