"In Tao is Unity of Life, In Unity is Duality of Life, In Duality is Trinity of Life, In Trinity all beings have life. All beings shun the principle of Inertia, They hold to the principle of Life. They are brought into deep harmony by the Breath of the Deep. That which men dislike is to be called orphans, solitary, wheels without naves; Yet princes and rulers may thus be named. Therefore some are increased by being diminished, And some are diminished by being increased. That which men have taught I also shall teach: "He who is strong and violent shall not meet with easy death." I shall in this way teach fundamentals."
