The 12 Norms
1:	To go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself.
2:	When you force something toward an end, you produce the contrary.
3:	Do not oppose a great force. Retreat until it weakens, then advance with resolution.
4:	Things go well when they move together, not in isolation.
5:	If day and night, summer and winter are good with you, you have surpassed the contradictions.
6:	If you pursue pleasure, you enchain yourself to suffering. But as long as you do not harm your health, enjoy without inhibition when the opportunity presents itself.
7:	If you pursue an end, you enchain yourself. If everything you do is realized as though it were an end in itself, you liberate yourself.
8:	You will make your conflicts disappear when you understand them in their ultimate root, not when you want to resolve them.
9:	When you harm others you remain enchained, but if you do not harm anyone you can freely do whatever you want.
10:	When you treat others as you want them to treat you, you liberate yourself.
11:	It does not matter in which faction events have placed you. What matters is that you comprehend that you have not chosen any faction.
12:	Contradictory or unifying actions accumulate within you. If you repeat your acts of internal unity, nothing can detain you.
