18. When the great Tao perishes

When the great Tao perishes
There is humaneness and rightness.
When intelligence is manifest
There is great deception.
When the six relationships are not in harmony
There us filial piety and compassion.
When the country is in chaos
Loyal ministers appear.

Additional Info

Tao of the Day is a site for all things related to the Tao (also spelled Dao). We'll cover the entire Tao Te Ching several times each year, with one chapter being the center of attention each day. You can always comment on past days, but let's try to keep it flowing as the days progress.
