                                  Chapter 72
                                   Freedom


                                       a
            When people have nothing to fear
            A greater force will rise

                                             b
            Do not confine people within narrow walls
            Do not burden their livelihood

            If you do not despise them
                                 c
            Then they will not despise you

            Therefore the wise:
            Know themselves but do not glorify
                                        d
            Value themselves but do not boast
                                        e
            Thus, they disregard one and choose the other
