Twenty Nine
Do you think that you can take over the universe and improve it?
I do not believe that it can be done.
The universe is sacred.
You cannot improve it.
If you try to change it,you will ruin it.
If you try to hold it you will lose it.
Sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind;
Sometimes breathing is hard,and sometimes it comes easily;
Sometimes there is strength,and sometimes there is weakness;
Sometimes one is up and sometimes one is down.
Therefore the sage avoids extremes,excesses,and complacency.
