Duality of Perfection & Flaws Within One

=

Beauty

Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty,

Only because there is ugliness.

All can know God as good because there is evil.

Being and non-being produce each other.

The difficult is born in the easy.

Long is defined by short, the high by the low.

Before and after go along with each other.

So the sage lives openly with apparent duality

And paradoxical unity.

The sage can act without effort

And teach without words

Nurturing things without possessing them,

He works, but not for rewards;

He competes, but not for results.

When the work is done, it is forgotten

That is why it lasts forever.
