Tao – Chapter 18

Therefore, when the Great Way is rejected, it is then that we have the virtues of humanity and righteousness;
When knowledge and wisdom appear, it is then that there is great hypocrisy;
When the six relations are not in harmony, it is then that we have filial. piety and compassion;
And when the country is in chaos and confusion, it is then that there are virtuous officials.
