"In a world with Tao, racing horses are drawn back [to the fields] for dung.* In a world without Tao, war horses are raised outside the city.** No crime is greater than having desires.*3* No calamity is greater than not knowing contentment. No fault is greater than longing for gain. Therefore, the contentment of knowing contentment is always contentment."
