The TAO gives birth to ONE. ONE gives birth to TWO. TWO gives birth to THREE. From THREE comes all the rest. All things carry the yin on their backs and embrace the yang up front. When yin and yang combine, all things achieve harmony. Ordinary men avoid solitude, but the TAOist makes it his ally. By realizing that he is one with the whole universe, the TAOist embraces his aloneness, and learns how to use it. Humble, he finds joy in humility, which brings peace, protection, and long life. Understanding solitude, the TAOist needs nothing. The universe becomes his real parents and provides for all his needs. He does not mind appearing desolate and hapless. To him, getting more is losing and letting go is gaining; more is less, less is more. Play "good games" knowing that those who live aggressively and violently are already unnaturally dead. By knowing how to balance, the TAOist yangs the yin and yins the yang. The yin and the yang are the prime O forces that harmonize all.
