Thus the sage stays at the back Yet finds himself at the front. Unconcerned about himself, he survives. Unconcerned about his goals, does he not attain them? 8. The highest good is like water. Water benefits the myriad things and does not contend. It flows to the low places that people disdain. Therefore it becomes like Tao. The value of a house is in its location. The value of a mind - in the clarity of thought. The value of companionship - in kindness. The value of words - in truthfulness. The value of governing - in justice. The value of a doing a job - in effectiveness. The value of taking an action - in timeliness. If there's no contention, there is no blame. http://www.geocities.com/taoteching_klingon/text.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
