The wise do not  cling
                                          even to virtue,
                                          for they know
                                       clinging to virtue
                                    is the proof of its loss.
                    The person in total harmony with the Tao
                                 does not cling to his virtue
                                    for he is unaware of it.

Even a thoroughly evil person
may believe that he or she is good;
But a thoroughly good person
does not believe that she or he is good.

"Why do you call me good?..."  -- attributed to Jesus of Nazareth. ca, 30 c.e.

I see some things as good,
only because i believe.
that other things are not good,
That is the gist, as i see it,
of Chapter 2 of the TTC
