We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
19 Banish wisdom, discard knowledge, Then the people will benefit a hundred times. Banish human love, just dump righteous, moral justice, and then the people will be dutiful and recover deep love of their kin. Banish cunning and skill, dispel profit; dismiss utility," then thieves and robbers will disappear. These three things are not enough; externals are somehow decorations, purpose's not enough; they tend to rob life and make it too little complicated. Therefore let people hold well on to keeping accessories; keeping simplicity to look at. Go on and shield their internal soul's nature as some ritual, raw block to hold, their private, secret means and foster less ardent desires. -- tr. T. Byrn
