Tao Che Ching by LaoTzu

If you want something to return to the source
You must first allow it to spread out

If you want something to weaken
You must first allow it to become strong.

If you want something to be removed..you must first allow it to flourish.

If you want to possess something
You must first give it away.

This is called subtle understanding of how things are meant to be.

The soft and pliable
Overcome the hard and inflexible.

Just as fish remain hidden in deep waters
It is best to keep weapons out of sight.

Rhe highest good is not to seek to do good
But to allow yourself to become it.
