i do have to realize that everything i have been talking about the past couple of days is about my self-will
- not letting my those who care about me in
- acting as if nothing is wrong to impress others
- and forcing my opinions on those who trust me

not some silly "advanced" surrender that i think i need after some time clean

Translated by James Legge
Book 1
1) Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep
the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which
are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves;
not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way
to keep their minds from disorder.
