Between yea and nay, how much difference is there? Between good and evil, how much difference is there?
What are feared by others we must fear; Vastly are they unlimited!
The people in general are as happy as if enjoying a great feast. Or, as going up a tower in spring. I alone am tranquil, and have made no signs, Like a baby who is yet unable to smile; Forlorn as if I had no home to go to.
Others all have more than enough, And I alone seem to be in want. Possibly mine is the mind of a fool, Which is so ignorant!
The vulgar are bright, And I alone seem to be dull. The vulgar are discriminative, and I alone seem blunt. I am negligent as if being obscure; Drifting, as if being attached to nothing.
The people in general all have something to do, And I alone seem to be impractical and awkward. I alone am different from others. But I value seeking sustenance from the Mother. To know the eternal is to be enlightened. Not to know the eternal is to act blindly and court disaster.

《道德經》: 絕學無憂,唯之與阿,相去幾何?善之與惡,相去若何?人之所畏,不可不畏。荒兮其未央哉!衆人熙熙,如享太牢,如春登臺。我獨怕兮其未兆;如嬰兒之未孩;儽儽兮若無所歸。衆人皆有餘,而我獨若遺。我愚人之心也哉!沌沌兮,俗人昭昭,我獨若昏。俗人察察,我獨悶悶。澹兮其若海,飂兮若無止,衆人皆有以,而我獨頑似鄙。我獨異於人,而貴食母。
《老子河上公章句·異俗》: 絕學無憂。唯之與阿,相去幾何。善之與惡,相去若何。人之所畏,不可不畏。荒兮其未央哉!眾人熙熙,如享太牢,如春登臺。我獨怕兮其未兆,如嬰兒之未孩。乘乘兮若無所歸。眾人皆有餘,而我獨若遺。我愚人之心也哉,沌沌兮。俗人昭昭,我獨若昏。俗人察察,我獨悶悶。忽兮若海,漂兮若無所止。眾人皆有以,而我獨頑似鄙。我獨異於人而貴食母。
《馬王堆·老子甲道經》: □□□□,唯與訶,其相去幾何?美與惡,其相去何若?人之□□,亦不□□□□□□□□□□眾人巸巸,若鄉於大牢,而春登臺。我泊焉未佻,若□□□□;累呵如□□□□□皆有餘,我獨遺。我禺人之心也,蠢蠢呵。□□□□□□𦟲呵鬻人蔡蔡,我獨𨴽𨴽呵。忽呵其若□,望呵其若無所止。□□□□□□□□以悝。吾欲獨異於人,而貴食母。
《馬王堆·老子乙道經》: 絕學無憂,唯與呵,其相去幾何?美與亞,其相去何若?人之所畏,亦不可以不畏人。朢呵其未央才!眾人熙熙。若鄉於大牢。而春登臺。我博焉未垗,若嬰兒未咳;纍呵佁無所歸。眾人皆又余,我愚人之心也,湷湷呵。鬻人昭昭,我獨若𨴽呵。鬻人察察,我獨閩閩呵,忽呵其若海,朢呵若無所止。眾人皆有以,我獨門元以鄙。吾欲獨異於人,而貴食母。 (Ⅰ) - He Shanggong (English) :
Cut off the learned. There will be no sorrow. Yes and Yea, how little do they differ! Good and evil, how much do they differ! What man fears must be feared. The bereaved ones may not yet be in the centre. as if they celebrated a great feast, as if they mounted the towers in spring. I alone am timorous, as if I had not yet felt a sign. Like a baby not yet smiling. I run about as if I had no place where to go. All men have superabundance, and I alone am as if I had sustained a loss. I have an idiot’s heart, indeed! Quite ignorant, o! The vulgar are very bright. I alone am like benighted. The vulgar are very perspicacious. I alone am quite dull. Forlorn, o! like the sea. Driven round as if I had no standpoint. All men without exception are of some use. But I alone am stupid like a rustic. I alone differ from others. But I value the nourishment from the mother. (Ⅱ) - He Shanggong (Chinese) :

Abandon learning and there will be no sorrow. How much difference is there between "Yes, sir," and "Of course not"? How much difference is there between "good" and "evil"?
What people dread, do not fail to dread. But, alas, how confused, and the end is not yet.
The multitude are merry, as though feasting on a day of sacrifice. Or like ascending a tower in the springtime. I alone am inert, showing no sign (of desires), Like an infant that has not yet smiled. Wearied, indeed, I seem to be without a home.
The multitude all possess more than enough. I alone seem to have lost all. Mine is indeed the mind of an ignorant man, Indiscriminate and dull!
Common folks are indeed brilliant; I alone seem to be in the dark. Common folks see differences and are clear-cut; I alone make no distinctions. I seem drifting as the sea; Like the wind blowing about, seemingly without destination.
The multitude all have a purpose; I alone seem to be stubborn and rustic. I alone differ from others, And value drawing sustenance from Mother (Tao). (Ⅳ) - Ellen Marie Chen (1989) :
Eliminate (chüeh) learning so as to have no worries,
Yes and no, how far apart are they?
Good and evil, how far apart are they?
What the sages (jen) fear,
I must not not fear.
I am the wilderness (huang) before the dawn (wei yang).
The multitude (chung jen) are busy and active,
Like partaking of the sacrificial feast,
Like ascending the platform in spring;
I alone (tu) am bland (p'o),
As if I have not yet emerged (chao) into form.
Like an infant who has not yet smiled (hai),
Lost, like one who has nowhere to return (wu so kuei).
The multitudes (chung jen) all have too much (yu yü);
I alone (tu) am deficient (i).
My mind (hsin) is that of a fool (yü),
Nebulous.
Worldly people (su jen) are luminous (chao);
I alone (tu) am dark (hun).
Worldly people are clear-sighted (ch'a);
I alone (tu) am dull (men),
I am calm like the sea,
Like the high winds I never stop (chih).
The multitudes (chung jen) all have their use (i);
I alone (tu) am untamable like lowly material.
I alone (tu) am different from others.
For I treasure feeding on the Mother (mu). (Ⅴ) - World by world translation :

How much difference can there be
Between praise and criticism?
How similar goodness is to evil!
Why must one want and do
What everyone else wants and does?
What an absurd expanse of culture!
People hustle and bustle everywhere
As if they were enjoying a grand feast
Or climbing a spring tower.
I sit here, alone, like an infant that cannot giggle yet
And look forlorn as if I am homeless.
Everyone else is acquiring, possessing,
But I seem to be losing all the time.
Am I not foolish, indeed?
While others are decisive,
I am muddled.
While others are quick in judgment,
I am dull-minded.
I am like an ocean that cannot be easily stirred,
Or a wind that has nowhere to dwell.
Other people are intelligent, strong-minded, longheaded,
But I seem simple, foolish, slow.
I am different in that
I value only what provides my nourishment. (Ⅶ) - Lynn (2004) :
Repudiate learning, and stay free of worry.
Really, how distant can approval be from disapproval?
Or, how far apart can praise and censure be?
One feared by others must also fear others accordingly.
A gulf so vast, oh, it is truly infinite!
Common people, caught up in the pursuit of happiness, behave as if feasting at a great sacrifice or ascending a springtime terrace.
I alone am quiet and indifferent, oh, in an entirely premanifest state [weizhao], just like an infant who has not yet smiled,
Utterly aimless, oh, just as if I had no place to go home.
Common people all have more than enough, but I alone seem to have lost all.
Mine is really the heart/mind of a stupid man!
Absolutely amorphous, oh!
Common people are clearly obvious.
But I alone am cryptically obscure.
Common people are meticulously discriminating,
But I alone muddle everything together.
Floating indifferently, oh, as if out on the sea,
Blown about by the wind, oh, I seem to have no place to stop.
Common people all would have purpose.
But I alone am doltish and rustic.
I alone wish to be different from others and so value drawing sustenance from the mother. (Ⅷ)
