首页 道家 老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze

19. Simplify

  if we could abolish knowledge and wisdom

  then people would profit a hundredfold;

  if we could abolish duty and justice

  then harmonious relationships would form;

  if we could abolish artifice and profit

  then waste and theft would disappear.

  yet such remedies treat only symptoms

  and so they are inadequate.

  people need personal remedies:

  reveal your naked self and embrace your original nature;

  bind your self-interest and control your ambition;

  forget your habits and simplify your affairs.
