For me, Ram Tzu has been something of an acquired taste. He's not very nice. The following Ram Tzu piece seems connected to the one above, and also to Suzanne Foxton's comment to your recent blog entry.
Ram Tzu knows this...
You've never known What's good for you. Not really.
You've always chosen the way Of least or greatest resistance.
The middle way, The way without struggle, Is frightening to you.
In the middle of the river Where the current runs Swift and deep All your efforts Are meaningless.
A shock occurs in reading these words--- I disappear from my own mind.

You've never known
What's good for you.
Not really.
You've always chosen the way
Of least or greatest resistance.
The middle way,
The way without struggle,
Is frightening to you.
In the middle of the river
Where the current runs
Swift and deep
All your efforts
Are meaningless.
There you will surely drown.
THAT would be terrible.
