#8 Water

The best of man is like water,

Which benefits all things, and does not contend with them,

Which flows in places that others disdain,

Where it is in harmony with the Way.

So the sage: 

Lives within nature, 

Thinks within the deep, 

Gives within impartiality,

Speaks within trust,

Governs within order,

Crafts within ability,

Acts within opportunity.

He does not contend, and none contend against him.

[unseen-seer]

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

[unseen-seer]

to whom much is given, much is tested.

[unseen-seer]

Because we try our best to understand when we are wrong. We do not always succeed, but we know enough to know we are not always right. If you can help us understand what part of our thinking is wrong, and where yours is right, then perhaps we may bear arms together, instead of against eachother.

great minds discuss ideas

average minds discuss events

small minds discuss people

[unseen-seer]

live by the sword, die by the sword

[unseen-seer]

the sage's heart is as open as the sky
