But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succor us out of the city.Preparing to do battle with the forces of Absalom, the people want King David to stay back because his life is worth ten thousand of theirs.
~ King James version ~
No form is more valuable than any other.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Each form and life has its place in the tapestry of Tao. No one form or life has a higher valuation than any other.
