We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
29. Deeming Those who desire to take the social world and deem-act it, I see that they just don't get it. The social world is an energized artifact. It is not the case that it can be deemed. Those who deem-act crush it. Those who grasp lose it. Hence, among natural kinds sometimes act, sometimes conform. sometimes snort sometimes blow. sometimes be strong sometimes weak. sometimes control sometimes destroy. Using this: Sages abandon superlatives, abandon extravagance, abandon expansiveness. -- tr. C. Hansen
