Lao Tzu Many people are hijacked by the rigidity of their minds.

老许多人被他们僵化的思所禁锢。

It's too easy to say he's just ideologically rigid.

你可能说他只是思僵化。

No, except that rigidity and closed minds can be detrimental.Not dogma but feeling is important.

重要，只是僵化和封闭的思可能是有害的。重要的是教条，而是感觉。

Any time she wanted to fill her house with guests, she could do so and these guests would be far more entertaining, far more handsomely dressed than those prissy, strait-laced old fools who disapproved of her.

她什么时候宾客，就可以发出邀请，这些客人和那些反对她的思僵化的老糊涂相比，心情愉快得多，衣服也漂亮得多。
