Those
who look down upon the world
will
surely take hold and try to change things
But
this is a plan
I've
seen fail again and again
The
world is Tao's own vessel
It
is perfection manifest
It
cannot be changed
It
cannot be improved
For
those who go on tampering, it's ruined
For
those who try to grasp, it's gone
Allow
your life to unfold naturally
Know
that it too is a vessel of perfection
Just
as you breathe in and breathe out
So,
sometimes you're ahead and other times behind
Sometimes
you're strong and other times weak
Sometimes
you're joined and other times alone.
To
the sage,
all
the life is but a movement toward perfection
So
what need has he
for
the excessive, the extravagant, or the extreme?

Tao Te Ching ~
