And if you live in accordance with the above you will be natural, real, and follow the Way in Tao
You will also accomplish just about nothing, be relatively useless to mankind, and very likely suffer in poverty
Fortunately few if any actually achieve and live the Way; because if everyone or many did, almost everyone else would starve to death, die of simple ailments, there would be no housing for most of mankind, no clothing for most people in cold climates, no clean water to drink, no sanitation, no electricity, no transportation except on animals, no hospitals, no doctors, no governments, no police, no moral codes, no law and no order in society.
