Book 1, Chapter 18

Second Bests

People :

Author : Laozi (Lao-Tzu)

Translator : Ursula K. Le Guin

Text :

In the degradation of the great way
come benevolence and righteousness.
With the exaltation of learning and prudence
comes immense hypocrisy.
The disordered family
is full of dutiful children and parents.
The disordered society
is full of loyal patriots.
