Here is a quote from the Daodejing (Edmund Ryden translation). In the spirit of this wonderful philosophy, I will make no comment and leave that to your interpretation...
Chapter 8
The highest goodness is like water:
Water benefits the myriad things and rests in the places everybody detests.
Therefore,
It is close to the Way.
Dwelling aims to be earth-bound;
Thinking aims to be profound;
Giving aims to be like heaven;
Speaking aims to be trustworthy;
Governing aims to be correct;
Accomplishing aims to be capable;
Undertaking aims to be timely.
Only through not competing will there be no disaster.
