Verse 76: Let Yin Predominate

When we are born, we are soft and flexible

But when we die, there is nothing left to love.

When plants start to grow,

They are fragile and malleable

But as they age, they lose their color and shrivel up and die.

The sword and knife is always working with death.

Love without conflict is an offspring of life.

An army that is so rigid and firm already decides what happens.

If a tree branch were to be grown as fragile it will break,

Even if it is long or small.

The fragile things stay down

Anywhere you go.

 2

But the things that have no worries and are weightless

Are in the sky and the gentle things just keep going up.

Verse 78: Appearance and Reality

Water is the softest and weakest thing

In the world.

But water is the best thing

To break things that are harder and more firm.

Everyone looks at how the strong is beaten by weak

And how fragile beats rigidity

However people rarely put this into practice and

Use this in society.

Taking blame and responsibility for the problems of the world

Can lead us on the path to the Great Integrity.

But there will be some that say it has no use

To take responsibility for these problems.

But always keep in mind that

Truth hides as falsity and falsity as truth.

Verse 79: The Toxicity of Blame

You leave resentment behind when you keep in resentment.

This is not good.

So it is the smart thing

That the intelligent do, which is to take in all responsibility.

We function with a pure heart only when we get to and understand the Great Integrity.

But those that have control over others, continue to manipulate and take advantage of others

And the Great Integrity that blames no one is a violated Great Integrity.

Verse 81: The Paradoxes of Life

Words that are Heartfelt are not intelligent and

Intelligent words are not heartfelt.

Those that are smart do not argue and

Those that argue are not wise.

Those that are smart do believe in ideologies while

Those that believe in ideologies are not intelligent.

Those that are enlightened share what they have

And not keep things for themselves.

 4

The more that these people give away,

The more they actually have.

The doctor of the universe is the Great Integrity.

It helps without hurting others

And doesn’t create arguments when acting.
