More from the Chuang Tzu

When a way is illustrious, it does not guide;
Illustrious, fancy, glowing... it no longer guides, but forces you along and distracts you from what's important.
when humanitarianism is fixated, it is not constructive;
Nothing can be accomplished when you are obsessed with one way of doing things, one way of being right, one way of being.
when honesty is puritanical, it is not trusted;
No one is trusted less than one who can truthfully claim she's never told a lie.
when bravery is vicious, it does not succeed.
Viciousness only distracts from the task at hand.
