Chapter 8 - Flow Like Water

Kindness is like water.
Benefits wherever it ebbs and flows
Comes and goes as it is,
By nature close to the Dao.

Be grounded in our living,
Be deep in our heart,
Be warm in our being,
Be honest in our speak,
Be tidy in our govenance,
Be skillful in our work,
Be timely with our action.

To live like water, without the self,
What is there to regret or worry.

上善若水。水善利万物而不爭，處眾人之所惡，故几于道。 居善地，心善淵，与善仁，言善信，政善治，事善能，動善時。 夫唯不爭，故無尤。
