57. Conquer with Inaction

  do not control the people with laws,

  nor violence nor espionage,

  but conquer them with inaction.

  for:

  the more morals and taboos there are,

  the more cruelty afflicts people;

  the more guns and knives there are,

  the more factions divide people;

  the more arts and skills there are,

  the more change obsoletes people;

  the more laws and taxes there are,

  the more theft corrupts people.

  yet take no action, and the people nurture eachother;

  make no laws, and the people deal fairly with eachother;

  own no interest, and the people cooperate with eachother;

  express no desire, and the people harmonize with eachother.
