True goodness is like water.

  • Bringing benefit and giving life to the 10,000 things.
  • It doesn’t compete but like the Tao
  • Immediately flows to the lowest place.
  • Everyone else always wants to be first
  • But the wise only want to be last,
  • To live on solid ground,
  • To think deeply,
  • To be gentle and kind,
  • To speak with honesty,
  • To govern with peace and order,
  • To work with skill,
  • To act at only the best time
