A truly good person functions without ulterior motive.

A moralist acts out of private desires.

A ritualist acts and, when no one responds,

rolls up a sleeve and marches.

 

When we lose the Tao, we turn to Virtue.

When we lose Virtue, we turn to kindness.

When we lose kindness, we turn to morality.

When we lose morality, we turn to ritual.

 

Ritual is the mere husk of good faith and loyalty

and the beginning of disorder.

 

~Tao Te Ching, Chapter 38, as translated by Tolbert McCarroll

 

People of the Tao

conform to the Tao.

People of Virtue

conform to Virtue.

People who lose the way

conform to the loss.

Those who conform to the Tao

are welcomed into the Tao.

Those who conform to Virtue

are welcomed into Virtue.

Those who conform to the loss

are welcomed into the loss.
