Tao Te Ching Chapter 39-16 High = Low
Today's Tao
The high make the low their basis. (Ch.39)
Lao Tzu says in Chapter 2:
"Highness and lowness need each other".
One should not tell something high from something low.
Don't judge.
They are both part of your hologram.
If you cannot help judging something and getting upset, what can you do?
Well, sometimes we cannot help it, can we?
Then, don't try to suppress your feelings. Don't try to blame yourself for being an imperfect Taoist.
Don't worry. Your feelings are part of your hologram. Just accept them with respect no matter how despicable or snobbish they are.
No judgement is the basis of Taoism, including no judgement on yourself.

-Everything is floating. Why do we want our life to be secure? Uki-kusa, floating weeds, are our friends, or, to be precise, the metaphor of our own being. Film director Yasujiro Ozu tells us about a story of a traveling theatre company. They travel like water weeds. Young Ayako Wakao is simply too beautiful to miss.
