#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 17 When the Master governs, the people are hardly aware that he exists. Next best is a leader who is loved. Next, one who is feared. The worst is one who is despised. If you don't trust the people, you make them untrustworthy. The Master doesn't talk, he acts. When his work is done, the people say, "Amazing: we did it, all by ourselves!"

Maybe is not that you don’t trust people but that you dislike people.
It suggests that a lack of trust can lead to negative behaviors but doesn’t address the complexity of personal feelings like disliking them.

i like a Ursula LeGuin's translation too: ## ACTING SIMPLY True leaders are hardly known to their followers. Next after them are the leaders the people know and admire; after them, those they fear; after them, those they despise. To give no trust is to get no trust. When the work’s done right, with no fuss or boasting, ordinary people say, Oh, we did it.
Sure, now it all makes sense. nostr:nevent1qqsrqve7krz2k4flprta4erm2mmam36lqz2u3a5dvf4r3ay4vce6krspzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctczyp8t3qcs666wm9wx6e4rjkea8n64nwzl4my0w6ga4l2qt2fwq4wk6qcyqqqqqqgyuajq6
