The Limit of Compassion
Heaven and Earth are not kind.
They regard all things as offerings.
The sage is not kind.
He regards people as offerings.
Is not the space between Heaven and Earth like a bellows?It is empty, but lacks nothing.
The more it moves, the more comes out of it.
A multitude of words is tiresome,Unlike remaining centered.
