• A man's excellence is like that of water; It benefits all things without striving; It takes to the low places shunned by men. Water is akin to Tao. . . .

Note then: The weak conquer the strong, The yielding outlast the aggressors.

There are essential contradictions at work that makes him fascinating to watch.
