person of tao
A man who
tiptoes can’t stand.
A man who straddles can’t
walk. A man who shows
off can’t shine.
A man
who justifies his
actions isn’t respected.
A man who boasts of his
achievements has no merit.
A man who brags will
not endure.
To a person
of tao, these things are
excess food and superfluous
behavior. Because nothing good
can come of them, he doesn’t
indulge in them.
