Chapter 72

When people no longer fear what should be feared, then the truly dreadful thing will fall upon them.

Don’t let them carelessly indulge in their daily life; don’t let them grow weary of what their life depends on.

By not growing weary of it, weariness will not set in.

So the sage knows himself but does not display it; he loves himself but does not prize himself. He sets aside the one and chooses the other.
