Wary, as if surrounded by strangers.
Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.

The Way is ever without action, yet nothing is left undone.
Good leaders reach solutions, and then stop. They do not dare to rely on force.
People take death lightly. They expect too much of life. That is why people take death lightly.
