Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness
All can know good as good only because there is evil
Therefore having and not having arise together
Difficult and easy complement each other
Long and short contrast each other
High and low rest upon each other
Voice and sound harmonize each other
Front and back follow each another
Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease
Creating, yet not possessing
Working, yet not taking credit
Work is done, then forgotten
Therefore it lasts forever
