12th verse of Tao Te Ching

========================

Favor and disgrace seem alarming. 

High status greatly afflicts your person.

Why are favor and disgrace alarming?

Seeking favor is degrading:

alarming when it is gotten,

alarming when it is lost.

Why does high status greatfly afflict your person?

The reasonw e have a lot of trouble

is that we have selves.

If we had no selves,

what trouble would we have?

Man's true self is eternal,

yet he thinks, I am this body and will soon die.

If we had no body, what calamities can we have?

One who sees himself as everything

is fit to be guardian of the world.

One who loves himself as everyone

is fit to be teacher of the world.

- Lao-tzu, 12th verse of Tao Te Ching
