唯之与阿，相去几何？美之与恶，相去若何？人之所畏，不可不畏。荒兮，其未央哉！眾人熙熙，如享太牢，如春登台。我独泊兮，其未兆；吨吨兮，如婴儿之未孩；儡儡兮，若无所归。眾人皆有餘，而我独若遗。我愚人之心也哉，吨吨兮！俗人昭昭，我独昏昏。俗人察察，我独闷闷。淡兮，其若海，望兮，若无止。眾人皆有以，而我独顽似鄙。我独异於人，而贵食母。

Tao Ching Chapter Twenty

Enlightenment of the absolute Tao can free a person from worries and sorrow.

How much is the difference between a respectful response and an angry response?

How great is the difference between good and evil?

What people naturally fear, one should also fear.

One’s endless desire can result in negligence of the true nature of life.

People like to pursue after excitement as if they were ascending the terrace in spring and celebrate a sacrificial feast.

But I alone remain quiet and calm like an infant who is pure and innocent.

And I alone appeared to be lost like one who has nowhere to go.

All people have a surplus, but I alone was simple and left out like a fool.

People seemed bright and shrewd, while I seemed dull.

People like to dispute, while I alone remain quiet.

I am calm and peaceful like the boundless ocean.

I am open-hearted and free like the wind blowing high above the sky without hindrance.

Everyone thinks of themselves as capable and outstanding while I appeared unlearned.

I am the only one to be different from others for I value highly the Great Tao and joyfully act accordingly.
