We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
53. Leaders in Robbery Those with even a scrap of sense walk on the main way and fear only straying from the path. The main way is smooth and easy, but people like to be side-tracked. While the courts are arrayed in splendor, the fields are full of weeds, and the granaries are empty. Yet some wear embroidered clothes, carry sharp swords, over-indulge themselves with food and drink, and have more possessions than they can use. They are leaders in robbery. This is not the Way. -- tr. S. Beck
