老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 19. Simplify

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• If we could abolish knowledge and wisdom
  Then people would profit a hundredfold;
  If we could abolish duty and justice
  Then harmonious relationships would form;
  If we could abolish artifice and profit
  Then waste and theft would disappear.
  
  Yet such remedies treat only symptoms
  And so they are inadequate.
  
  People need personal remedies:
  Reveal your naked self and embrace your original nature;
  Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;
  Forget your habits and simplify your affairs.
