Chapter 23 - Impermanence

There's not much nature needs to say.
The impermanent part of nature says it all.
No sooner does the typhoon arrive it stops;
No sooner does the storm start it ends;
Nature cannot be eternal,
Nevermind humanity.

Thus:
To follow the Dao is to become Dao,
To follow virtue is to become virtuous,
To be lost is to become lost.
Not the other way around.
Dao embraces your following;
Virtue is always open;
Nothing saves you from being lost;
When there is not enough trust, trust is cost.

希言自然。故飘风不终朝，骤雨不终日，孰为此者？天地。天地尚不能久，而况于人乎？故从事于道者同于道；德者同于德；失者同于失。同于道者，道亦乐得之；同于德者，德亦乐得之；同于失者，失亦乐得之。信不足焉，有不信焉！
