I’m sure it will be unsuccessful that to manage the political affair with peremptory method. The common people of the world are very inviolable. So, the dynast should not manage state affair with tyranny, should not control excessively. Otherwise, the dynast will loose trust of the people.
Therefore, the sages will not misrule in order to keep the state stay in stability.
Common people are very different from each other. Some of them are active, some are carefree; some are enthusiastic, some are impassive; some are doughty, some are frail; some are dutiful, and some are dangerous…
So the people accord with the standard of Tao’s will avoid to using extreme decree and method.
