When the government’s dull and confused,

the people are placid.

When the government’s sharp and keen,

the people are discontented.

Alas! misery lies under happiness,

and happiness sits on misery, alas!

Who knows where it will end?

Nothing is certain.[42]



The normal changes into the monstrous,

the fortunate into the unfortunate,

and our bewilderment

goes on and on.



And so the wise

shape without cutting,

square without sawing,

true without forcing.

They are the light that does not shine.[43]
