《老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze》53. Difficult Paths

  With but a small understanding

  One may follow the Way like a main road,

  Fearing only to leave it;

  Following a main road is easy,

  Yet people delight in difficult paths. When palaces are kept up

  Fields are left to weeds

  And granaries empty;

  Wearing fine clothes,

  Bearing sharp swords,

  Glutting with food and drink,

  Hoarding wealth and possessions -

  These are the ways of theft,

  And far from the Way.
