Nothing and no one in the world is valuable or worthless.
To delight in conquest is to delight in slaughter.
He (the Sage) does not show off, therefore he shines.
Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.
Those who have compassion when they do battle will be victorious. Those who likewise defend themselves will be safe. Heaven will rescue and protect them with compassion.
So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind; Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily; Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness; Sometimes one is up and sometimes down. Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.
