We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
4. Using Guidance Guidance pours out but in using it, something is not filled. Whew! It's like the ancestor of the ten-thousand natural kinds. 'Dull' its 'sharp', 'untie' its 'tie', 'blend' its 'bright', 'together' its 'diffused particles'. Ooo! It's like it partly endures. I don't know whose son it is. It is before the emperor of signs! -- tr. C. Hansen
