If the world acknowledges beauty
ugliness is also found.
If the world acknowledges goodness
its shadow will be present.
The material and the immaterial revolve around each other:
easy and hard are linked:
long and short, high and low are inseparable:
singer and melody interdependant:
front and back, two sides of the same.
Therefore the wise study the underlying psycho-dynamic of events,
consider people's motivations,
and observe how things interact naturally.
When they initiate
they do not seek to possess.
When they engage
they do not claim ownership.
By not vaunting success
jealousy is kept in check
and so their work endures.
