This friend of Lao Tou\'s is as shamelessly arrogant as, if not more than, Lao Tou. What a jackass! You are making a fool of yourself if you are acting on what you hear from Lao Tou. Take your time to hear and know more from more people before you muddle the water.
One Lao Tou is enough, with two Lao Tous there is no peace.
