""Rule the kingdom by the norm wage war by the unexpected." Take over the world by Not Working. How do I know it is so? By this. In the world: The more rules and restrictions there are the poorer the people will be. The people: The more 'sharp weapons' they have, the more disordered the state and the clans will be. Men: The more clever and skillful they are, the more weird things will start to happen. The more you publicize rules and laws, the more robbers and thieves you will have. Yes, the Wise Person says: I Do Nothing, and the people transform themselves. I love Stillness, and the people bring themselves to correctness. I do No Work, and the people enrich themselves. I have no desires, and the people by themselves become Simple."
