those who wish to change the world

　　according with their desire

　　cannot succeed.

　　the world is shaped by the way;

　　it cannot be shaped by the self.

　　trying to change it, you damage it;

　　trying to possess it, you lose it. so some will lead, while others follow.

　　some will be warm, others cold

　　some will be strong, others weak.

　　some will get where they are going

　　while others fall by the side of the road.

　　so the sage will be neither wasteful nor violent.
