Vacancy
"Be sparing of your talk, and possess yourself. A violent wind will not outlast the morning. A pouring rain will not outlast the day. Who are they that make these but Heaven and Earth? And, if Heaven and Earth cannot continue such things long, how much more will this be the case with man? Therefore, when a man in all things accords with Tau, his accordance with Tau identifies him with Tau. A man of virtue is identified with virtue. A man of default is identified with default. Him who is identified with Tau, (the community of) Tau also rejoices to receive. Him who is identified with Virtue, (the community of) Virtue also rejoices to receive. (But) him who is identified with default, the defaulters also rejoice to visit with default. Where faith is insufficient, it is not met by faith."
