Tao Te – 57

lead a community with justice
war with surprise tactics
these are mastered without struggle
confirm this

increase restrictive laws
poor people become poorer
sharpen weapons
draw more trouble
ingenuity and cleverness
make room for stranger things
the stricter laws become
the more robbers and thieves thrive

become one who affirms
take no action and teach good behavior
enjoying peace models honest living
not scrounging for one more penny promotes prosperity
participating in Tao returns life to life
