Supreme good is like water.

• Water greatly benefits all things, without conflict.
• It flows through places that people loathe.
• Thereby it is close to the Way.
• A good dwelling is on the ground.
• A good mind is deep.
• A good gift is kind.
• A good word is sincere.
• A good ruler is just.
• A good worker is able.
• A good deed is timely.
• Where there is no conflict, there is no fault.
