A+DAOIST+PASSAGE

**Comment below on this Daoist idea:**

 * To lead people, walk beside them... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate... When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!'”**

1. Daoism is considered ineffable by nature; It teaches a moral responsibility over one's self before that person may lead others, in hopes that their values will positively empact and inspire the people. (hlo)

2. The Daoist principle of humility is shown in this passage; without humility we cannot relate to other people, and if we cannot relate to people, we cannot help them, nor lead them effectively. (hpo)

3. The Daoist principle of governing from within is present in this passage. The author teaches that true leadership isn't laying down the law for the people, but allowing the people to help lead themselves. (rsc)

4. Daoists believe that there is no use for a goverment. If everyone practiced fundamental Daoist beliefs (humility, moderation, compassion, non-action, emptness and so on), people would live peacefully. There would be no reason to have any rules. (eboo)

5. Daoists believe in creating a government system that is not overbearing or too oppressive. Moderation is key. Once one has found the correct balance of maintaining order while also maintaining humility, then the government is true. (mhu)
