Tao Te – 18

when a great antecedent is forgotten
kindness and morality rush in
followed by wisdom and knowledge
the great pretense begins

when there is no peace within the family
parent piety and ancestor devotion are quick to enter
when a country is confused and in chaos
loyalty and order strut in
