Book 2, Chapter 42 : 
Children of the Way

Author : Laozi (Lao-Tzu)

Translator : Ursula K. Le Guin

Text :
----------------------------------



The Way bears one.

The one bears two.

The two bear three.

The three bear the ten thousand things.

The ten thousand things

carry the yin on their shoulders

and hold in their arms the yang,

whose interplay of energy

makes harmony.[30]



People despise

orphans, widowers, outcasts.

Yet that’s what kings and rulers call themselves.

Whatever you lose, you’ve won.

Whatever you win, you’ve lost.



What others teach, I say too:

violence and aggression

destroy themselves.

My teaching rests on that.
