An upright person reaches a final goal. The way of heaven, descending to provide and to shine. The way of earth, lowly, goes upward. The way of heaven takes from the full and enhances the humble. The way of earth changes the full and spreads humility.
Spirits take from the full and bless the humble.
The way of humans is to dislike the full and like the humble. Humility is noble and shines, low yet unsurpassable. This is the final goal of leaders. Leaders assess people and give impartially, by taking from the abundant and adding to the scarce. It is fortunate if leaders use this to cross great rivers.
