"The highest good is like water: Water brings good to all things and does not contend; It goes to places which most people detest And is therefore akin to Dao. Dwell on good ground; Meditate in good depth; Keep good company; Speak in good faith; Rule with good policy; Serve with good competence; Act with good timing. Because there is no contention. There is no blame."
