Tao Te Ching Part Seventeen

“The very highest is barely known.
Then comes that which people know and love.
Then that which is feared,
Then that which is despised.”

This is the hierarchy of recognition. The lowest minds will be subject to their base emotions and despise and fear, the higher minds will recognise but still be subject to knowledge and love. The highest will be objective with a much broader view and able to recognise the ‘way’ that cannot be defined. 

“Who does not trust enough will not be trusted. 

When actions are performed
Without unnecessary speech,
People say, “We did it!” 

Those that recognise the ‘way’ will be able to have trust and immerse themselves into its insights and wisdom not needing recognition for their actions or speech to the point that others will think they did it themselves.
