Abstraction

When we say something is beautiful

Then there must be ugliness

When we say this is goodness

Then we have created evil

But the real world does not distinguish

There is no city nor countryside, only terrain

There is no fortune and misfortune, only events occuring

There is no this, nor that, there are only things as they are

Thus the sensible live without discriminating

And undertakes without incentive

They ride the sun and the rain, warmed and nurtured

"Welcome" and "unwelcomed", understanding both to be necessary

Just as flowers bloom for they color the world

Just as cotton bolls for they are soft to the touch

Thus things are accomplished not for score, for attainment, for ends

Instead the work is done because it is the thing to do
