老子道德經第二章
天下皆知美之為美 斯惡已
皆知善之為善 斯不善已
故有無相生 難易相成
長短相形 高下相傾
音聲相和 前後相隨
是以聖人處無為之事 行不言之教
萬物作而弗始 生而弗有
為而弗恃 功成而不居
夫唯弗居 是以不去

When you see beauty, you also label ugliness.
When you know good, you also define evil.
Lao Tzu says,
Have and have-not come together;
Difficult and easy arise together;
Long and short reflect each other;
High and low contrast each other
Sound and silence harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another.
Therefore,
The wise man follows the nature--
He does without action, teaches without preaching;
Of the creation and process of things,
He does not push forward;
Of the working and success of deeds,
He does not take credit.
Because he does not possess,
He shall forever has.
And,
The true lover follows the heart--
Desires but not pursues,
Admires but not possesses.
Enjoys all moments with gratitude,
And lets love fulfill itself.
Perhaps because I cannot hold you,
My love for you shall never dies.

注：当年写的时候心中充满爱情，所以结尾有些浪漫。
