When holiness is discarded and religion done away with
People are much better off.
When morality and justice are forgotten
People do what is natural.
When the idea of profit disappears
Theft comes to an end.
These, however, are outward appearances
Derived from what is really important.
And what is that?
To relinquish all attachment
To dissolve the illusory self
To recognize one's true nature
And to realize the utter simplicity of life.
Lao Tzu
