We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
45 Most perfect, yet it seems Imperfect, incomplete: Its use is not impaired. Filled up, and yet it seems Poured out, an empty void: It never will run dry. The straightest, yet it seems To deviate, to bend; The highest skill and yet It looks like clumsiness. The utmost eloquence, It sounds like stammering. As movement overcomes The cold, and stillness, heat, The Wise Man, pure and still, Will rectify the world. -- tr. R. Blakney
