Things exalted then decay. This is going against the Way. What goes against the Way meets an early end.
The ancients said: Hulk to be whole.
Throw away sacredness and wisdom and people will be one hundred times happier.
Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
Can you let go of words and ideas, attitudes and expectations? If so, then the Tao will loom into view.
The Way is eternal. Until your last day, you are free from peril.
