Harmony neither acts nor | | reasons; Love acts, but without reason; | | Justice acts to serve reason; But | | ritual acts to enforce reason. When the | | Way is lost, there remains harmony; | | When harmony is lost, there remains | | love; When love is lost, there remains | | justice; And when justice is lost, | | there remains ritual. Ritual is the end | | of compassion and honesty, The | | beginning of confusion; Belief is a | | colourful hope or fear, The beginning | | of folly. The sage goes by harmony, not | | by hope; He dwells in the fruit, not | | the flower; He accepts substance, and | | ignores abstraction. | | | \ -- Lao Tse, "Tao Te Ching" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
