Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. | ||||||
All can know good as good only because there is evil. | ||||||
Therefore having and not having arise together. | ||||||
Difficult and easy complement each other. | ||||||
Long and short contrast each other; | ||||||
High and low rest upon each other; | ||||||
Voice and sound harmonize each other; | ||||||
Front and back follow one another. | ||||||
Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking. | ||||||
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease, | ||||||
Creating, yet not possessing, | ||||||
Working, yet not taking credit. | ||||||
Work is done, then forgotten. | ||||||
Therefore it lasts forever Lao Tsu |
Tao Te Ching #TWO
