Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty, only because there is ugliness
All can know good as good, only because there is evil
Being and non-being produce each other.
The difficult is born in the easy.
Long is defined by short, the high by the low.
Before and after go along with each other.
So the sage lives openly with apparent duality and paradoxical unity.
The sage can act without effort and teach without words.
Nurturing things without possessing them,
he works, but not for rewards; he competes, but not for results.
When the work is done, it is forgotten.
That is why it lasts forever.

Affirmation: When my work is done, it is forgotten. That is why it lasts forever.
