If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
