About water, and Venice

[txt] Tao Te Ching – chapter 8 – source www.Taoism.net and Tao Te Ching: Annotated and Explained, published by SkyLight Paths in 2006.

The highest goodness resembles water: Water greatly benefits myriad things without contention, It stays in places that people dislike, Therefore it is similar to the Tao:
Dwelling with the right location, Feeling with great depth, Giving with great kindness, Speaking with great integrity, Governing with great administration, Handling with great capability, Moving with great timing.
Because it does not contend It is therefore beyond reproach
