win the world by letting go

 

Govern a nation

by following nature.

Fight a war with unexpected

moves. Win the world by

letting go.

 

How do I know this?

From seeing these things:

The more prohibitions there

are, the poorer people

become.

 

The more

weapons there are,

the darker things

become.

 

The more cunning

and cleverness there is,

the crazier things

become.

 

The more laws there are,

the greater the number

of scoundrels.

 

Therefore the sage says:

I take no action, and people transform

themselves. I love tranquility, and people

naturally do what is right. I don’t interfere,

and people prosper on their own. I have

no desires, and people return

to simplicity.
