"I have cause to know that, though I possess great wisdom, to preach it while traveling on the highway is dangerous. Though the highway is smooth and straight, The common people prefer the byways. The ruler's court is well tended, but the fields are neglected. The granaries are empty, but garments are gorgeous. Men carry sharp swords, but food and drink satiate them. There is a surplus of money and merchandise, "temptation for bandits" Alas, it is not Tao."
