Tao Te Ching – 5 – Be Impartial

5

Be Impartial

Heaven and earth are objective,

and are completely impartial.

They do not see the significance in individuals,

as though they were made of grass.

Wisdom is also impartial,

and sees all people as equal.

The area between heaven and earth is empty,

and yet it does not crumble.

As it shrinks, it creates.

Gossips are different, and they speak words until they have no more,

because they do not understand impartiality.
