The Way does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Should barons and kings be able to preserve it, the myriad creatures will transform themselves. After they are transformed, should some still desire to act, I shall press them down with the weight of nameless unhewn wood. Nameless unhewn wood is but freedom from desire. Without desire and still, the world will settle itself.
Everyone in the world knows that when the beautiful strives to be beautiful, it is repulsive. Everyone knows that when the good strives to be good, it is no good. And so, To have and to lack generate each other. Difficult and easy give form to each other. Long and short off-set each other. High and low incline into each other.
