So the ability to act as the king of one hundredvalleys happens。
Appropriately it happens that
Desire to be above people seeds the occurrence ofwords being low
Desire to precede people seeds the occurrence ofthe body following
Appropriately it happens that sages
Dwell above yet people lack heaviness
Dwell in front yet people are without being heldback
Appropriately it happens
That the world joyfully supports them yet withouttiring。
It happens they lack contention
So in the world noone is able to be contending with them。
67
In the world each says
My tao is great and seems to lack resemblance
In the end only great therefore seems to lack resemblance。
It looks like resemblance goes with the long…lasting
With what is tiny as well。
In the end I possess three principles I am obtaining yet defending
One； say compassion
Two； say thrift
Three say lack of venturing to act to precede theworld。
Compassion； so be able to be brave
Thrift； so be able to expand
Lack venturing to act to precede the world
So be able to perfect tools of growth。
Right now； abandon compassion just to be brave
Abandon thrift just to expand
Abandon being behind just to precede
Death goes with these。
In the end with compassion
A war happens and next comes conquering
Keeping to it happens and next comes solidity。
The heavens attain helping
It happens that compassion is defending。
68
Those who value acting as sergeants lack ferocity
Those who value war lack anger
Those who value conquering lack engagement
Those who value using men are acting low。
Appropriately called ideal of lacking being contending
Appropriately called strength to be using men
Appropriately called distributing the ancient limit of the heavens。
69
Strategists possess words
I am without venturing to act as lord yet act asguest
Without venturing to enter an inch yet fall backa foot。
Appropriately called
Going absent of going
Grabbing absent of an arm
Throwing absent of opposition
Taking hold of absent of an enemy。
No misfortune is greater than relating to light opposition
Light opposition severs and destroys my principles。
So when opposing strategies escalate each other
Conquering goes with those who mourn。
70
My words
Are very easy to know
Are very easy to practice。
In the world
Noone is able to know
Noone is able to practice。
Words possess an ancestor
Efforts possess a sovereign。
In the end only with absence of knowledge
Appropriate lack of self…knowledge happens
Knowledge of that which is the self is rare
And then that which is the self is treasured。
Appropriately it happens that sages have
A covering of coarse cloth
A bosom of jade。
71
Knowing； lack of knowing
Better； lack of knowing
Knowing； a disease。
In the end only when the disease is sick
Appropriate lack of the disease happens。
Sages lack the disease
It happens the disease was sick。
Appropriately lack of the disease happens。
72
People lack respect for impressive strength
And then greatly impressive strength is reached。
An absence of improper familiarity for what is their place of residence
An absence of detesting what is their place of living
In the end only without detesting
Appropriate lack of detesting happens。
Appropriately it happens that sages
Know themselves without displaying themselves
Are fond of themselves without treasuring themselves。
So detach from that； grab this。
73
Bravery in relation to venturing； next comes being killed
Bravery in relation to lack of venturing； next comes being mobile
Each of these two benefits some； harms some。
The place of the heaves dislikes
Who knows why it is so？
Appropriately it happens that sages see it just as difficult。
The tao of the heavens
Without contending yet values conquering
Without words yet values responding
Without summoning yet attracts to itself
Is easy…natured yet values a place for everything。
The net of the heavens is vast； expansive
A coarse mesh yet without loss。
74
When people lack respect for death
How does it happen that death looks threatening？
Suppose people entirely respect death
Yet there are those who act strange。
I may obtain hold of them yet who would venture to be killing them？
Entireness possesses that which is the master killer； killing。
In the end taking the place
Of that which is the master killer； killing
Is appropriately called
Taking the place of the great carpenter； carving。
In the end take the place of the great carpenter； carving
It is rarely true that a lack of wounding the hand goes with this。
75
The hunger of people
It happens that those above feed by taxing abundantly
Appropriately hunger happens。
The difficulty in governing people
It happens that those above possess action
Appropriately the difficulty in governing happens。
The lightness of people at death
It happens that those above reach for the thicknessof life
Appropriately lightness at death happens。
In the end only those who are absent of acting to live
Are appropriately wise in relating to treasuring life。
76
The life of man is also yielding； weak
His death is also rigid； unyielding。
The 10000 things； the grass and trees
Their living is also yielding； fragile
Their dying is also dried up； withered。
So that which is rigid； unyielding is the pupil of dying
That which is yielding； weak is the pupil of living
Appropriately it happens that
With unyielding soldiers； next comes lack of conquering
With an unyielding tree； next comes being attacked。
Dwelling in the unyielding and great is worse
Dwelling in the yielding and supple is better。
77
The tao of the heavens； it is just like opening up a bow
With that which towers being restrained
That which is lowered being lifted
That which has surplus being decreased
That which lacks enough being supplemented。
The tao of the heavens
Decreasing in the presence of surplus
Yet supplementing what lacks enough。
The tao of man； and then it lacks being so
Reducing what lacks enough
Coming to esteem the presence of surplus。
Who is able to come to esteem presence of surplus in the world？
Only those present with tao。
Appropriately it happens that sages
Act yet without relying
Are of outstanding service yet without dwellingtherein
They lack desire to display principles。
78
In the world nothing is supple and weak in relation to water
Yet of those things which attack the firm and unyielding
Nothing is able to do better
In what is absent； this easily happens。
Being supple conquers the unyielding
Being weak conquers the firm
In the world
Noone is without knowing it
Noone is able to practice it。
Appropriately it happens that sages say
He who accepts the disgrace of a nation
Is appropriately called lord of the grain shrine
He who accepts the misfortune of a nation
Is appropriately acting as the king of the world。
Correct words look like they turn back。
79
Harmonize great resentment
Seed the presence of a surplus of resentment
How can valuing actions happen peacefully？
Appropriately it happens that sages
Take hold of the left of a contract
Yet lack censure in relating to men。
Presence of ideal controls the agreement
Absence of ideal controls its resolution。
The tao of heaven is absent of favorites
It is entirely with the valuing man。
80
A tiny nation； few people
Suppose the presence of 10 or one hundred times too many tools
Yet they are unused
Suppose people heavy with death
Yet lack moving far。
Even present with boats and carriages
There is an absence of a place to be riding
Even present with armor and weapons
There is an absence of a place to be displayingthem。
Suppose men return to knotting cords and using them
What is eaten is sweet
What serves as clothing is beautiful
What is a home is peaceful
What is common is joyful。
Nearby nations overlook each other
Crowing； barking sounds are heard by each other
People reach old age and die
Without coming and going between each other。
81
Believed words lack embellishment
Embellished words lack belief。
Those who value lack argument
Those who argue lack valuing
Those who know lack learning
Those who learn lack knowing。
The sages are without accumulating
Grasping； it happens they act
Others later gain presence
Grasping； it happens they give
