When the way of the Tao is forgotten,
#morality and #ethics need to be stressed.
When the body's innate intelligence is not heeded, #deception becomes routine, and men learn to pretend to be wise and good.
When genuine #peace among people is not regarded; filial piety and #compassion are made apparent.
When a nation falls into #chaos ; loyalty and #patriotism are renewed.

Classic of the Way and Virtue, Lao Tzu (Laozi), Chapter 18, Translated by Rivenrock
