Kana mhuri dzisingakombi, vanhu vanotaura nezve utsvene. Kana rudzi rwashaya, panomuka varanda vakakodzera. Zvinhu zvose izvi zvinotevera kukundwa kweTao.
Chinobudirana sei neni?
Mune mamiriro angu, ndinogonana kana nditarisana nezvinhu zvakafanira sezvizvarwa. Kana ndichinge ndashaya nzira yose, ndichiona vanhu vari pedyo neni vari kufara. Ndinofara kana vanhu vachindishanda nemawes, kwete nekuda kwemashoko aripo. Asi kana maono ari paboka rekusimudzira, zvinhu zvinogona kunge zvisingafaniri.
Ndofanira kuita sei nhasi?
Kana nzira yose yakundwa, benevolence and righteousness emerge; when great wisdom appears, great deception follows; when family relations are not harmonious, talk of filial piety arises; when the nation is in chaos, loyal ministers appear. This chapter reveals how artificial virtues arise when the natural order breaks down. The absence of the Tao creates the need for manufactured righteousness, manufactured wisdom, manufactured family harmony, and manufactured loyalty. Each 'virtue' mentioned is actually a symptom of something lost.
