Small country, few people -
Hundreds of devices,
But none are used.
People ponder on death
And don't travel far.
They have carriages and boats,
But no one goes on board;
Weapons and armour,
But no one brandishes them.
They use knotted cords for counting.
Sweet is their food,
Beautiful their clothes,
Peaceful their homes,
Delightful their customs.
Neighboring countries are so close
You can hear their chickens and dogs.
But people grow old and die
Without needing to come and go.

Without curiosity, without knowledge people are content. They don't seek new inventions nor fancy ways of doing things. They just are and don't even care what others are doing.
Pretty funny thought for a guy who has spent 2/3 of his life in school and who's profession is "curiosity" through hypothesis testing.
Daodejing study was completed.
