We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
53. Increasing evidence Let me suddenly have some know-how To exercise on The Great Guide-- Only helping it--this I fear! The Great Guide is profoundly smooth and people easily track it. The palace is profoundly stripped. Fields are profoundly overgrown. Graneries are profoundly bare. Clothes embroidered colorfully. Belts have sharp swords. Bored of drink and food. Wealth and commodities are excessive. This is called 'stealing.' Exaggeration! Not a guide! -- tr. C. Hansen
