Those who of old were good practicers of Tao did not use it to make people bright, but rather used it to make them simple.
LaoziThe great Way is easy, yet people prefer the side paths. Be aware when things are out of balance. Stay centered within the Tao.
LaoziWhen the Way is lost there is virtue. When virtue is lost there is benevolence. When benevolence is lost there is righteousness. When righteousness is lost there are rituals.
Laozi
