True words aren’t
elaborate. Elaborate words aren’t true.
Good people don’t argue. People who argue
aren’t good. People who know aren’t
full of facts. People who are full
of facts don’t know.
The sage doesn’t hoard.
She increases her treasure by
working for her fellow human beings.
She increases her abundance
by giving herself
to them.
The way of heaven:
benefit all, harm none.
The way of the sage: work
for all, contend
with none.
