Yes, I know that. But there are an abundance of translations available for
it. Just do a net search and you'll find at least a dozen. Sure, they're
mostly slanted along Western Christian lines. But hey, it's Open Source,
right? Anyone can come along later and correct it :-).
It's not a `holy writ', like the Bible; it's merely ancient words of
wisdom. It matters not if a few connotations are lost, or more added.
A show of hands from people living in predominantly Taoist (or even
Buddhist) territory perhaps?
