...truth seeker: doubt. One hundred and fifty years ago Charles Lamb observed that credulity was the child's strength but the adult's weakness. That observation is even more valid today, when shoddy or ignorant research is used to lend legitimacy to the most extravagant tenets of the psychic movement...
...King Fu-tzu or Master Rung, would likely be amused at all the attention he is getting. His own life was singularly lacking in worldly success. Born in 551 B.C. of an impoverished noble family in what is now Shantung province, he spent his life as an itinerant office seeker, wandering throughout the feudal kingdoms into which China was then divided, looking for a ruler who would put his ideas about government into practice.
