From Taoism of open source I think Lao-Tzu (and eastern teachers like himself) encourages his students to think for themselves by not spoon-feeding them with a pre-packaged answer. So I read the message "think!". But then comes the explanation. As I kept reading the story and didn't stop to think, well I didn't think for myself. Also the reader is 3rd person here, a passive listener. Am I reading too much into this, or is the real principle "we will tell you to think, but we will teach you to not think" here?
