INTEGRITY
Knowing your weaknesses is a strength.
Not knowing your strengths is a weakness.Empower your weaknesses by subtle discipline.
Restrain your strengths with disciplined subtlety.Too much hardness is brittle and easily shattered.
Too much softness is flimsy and readily squashed.
Alloy tenderness with toughness to become irresistible.
Curb determination by diplomacy to become indomitable.
All?
One!
The famed classical expression 'Know Thyself'
or the modern one of 'Getting it together' both refer to the
concept of integration.
This can apply not only to an individual personality, but
also to an organisation or even to a moral, political or
religious system.
Integrating
disparate motivations, outlooks or behaviour patterns to
become a coherent whole, is central to the 'action' of
Tao.
This can include avoiding
over-dependence on established proficiencies, and finding a
valuable purpose for flaws or limitations.
