SEVENTY-SEVEN

The great Tao of Heaven is like the bending of a bow.

The high is lowered, and the low is elevated.

If the rope is too long, it is shortened;

If there is not enough, it is enlarged.


The great Tao of heaven is to obtain from those who are very affluent

            and to give to those who are destitute.

Man's way is contrasting.

He takes from those who are destitute in order to give more to the wealthy.

What kind of man who is affluent and gives it to the underprivileged worldwide.

Only the man of the great Tao.

Therefore the wise works without obtaining any recognition.

He achieves success without dwelling on it too much.

He does not try to show off his knowledge.

LAO TSU.
