Beware of strength





 

Man is his life,
is indeed tender weak.
He dies, he is indeed hard stiff.
The ten thousand things,
the grass, trees in their life are indeed tender delicate.
They die, they are indeed rigid dry.

Therefore the hard stiff ones 
death's companions
The tender weak ones
life's companions.

Therefore arms are strong,
then they will not conquer.
Trees strong,
then they will be doomed.
The strong great stay below.
The tender, the weak stay above.
