Creating, yet not possessing; Working, yet not taking credit.
Long and short contrast each other; High and low rest upon each other;
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short contrast each other;
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another.Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not possessing,
Working, yet not taking credit.excerpt from chapter two of the Tao Te Ching
by Lao Tsu
