Good shutting doesn't need either bars nor bolts, but no one can open it. (Ch.27)
The best defense is no defense.
Don't try to protect anything.
Protecting something is the best way to lose it.
Chuang Tzu, a distant disciple of Lao Tzu, says in his book:
"Although you hide your boat in a valley and the nets in a swamp, a powerful man may steal them and run away". (The 6th chapter in Inner Chapters, «Chuang Tzu»)
If a thing is supposed to stay with you, it will be there.
If not, let it go.
