"One who is courageous out of daring (kan) is killed. One who is courageous out of not daring lives. Of these two, this is beneficial while that is harmful. What heaven hates, who knows the reason? Therefore even the sage takes it to be difficult. The way of heaven: Without contending (cheng), it is yet good at winning, Without speaking, it is yet good in responding, Without being beckoned, it yet comes of its own accord, Unhurried, it is yet good at planning (mou). The net of heaven is vast, Widely spaced, yet missing nothing."
