8: The Nature of True Goodness


The best are like water

Bringing help to all without competing

Choosing what others avoid

They thus approach the Tao

Dwelling with earth

Thinking with depth

Helping with kindness

Speaking with honesty

Governing with peace

Working with skill

And moving with time

And because they don’t compete

They aren’t maligned
