The Way - Chapter 58 (By Lao Tzu)

When the policy is plain, people are contented and chaste.


When the policy is strict, people are destitute and sullied.


Misfortune can gestate fortune; fortune can evolve into misfortune.


Who knows the evolvement law? There is no predefined rule.


The integrity can be strange; the charitableness can be foul.


The puzzlement of people exists for a long time.


Therefore, the saint should be upright not isolated, plain not crude, straightforward not hurtful, and shining not glaring.
