A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
LaoziFree from desire, you realize the mystery, caught in the desire, you see only the manifestations.
LaoziThe great Way is easy, yet people prefer the side paths. Be aware when things are out of balance. Stay centered within the Tao. When rich speculators prosper While farmers lose their land; when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures; when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn- all this is robbery and chaos. It is not in keeping with the Tao.
