THE ART OF " WU WEI"

"WU WEI"

The art of letting things happen, non-action, doing nothing, actionless, I mean it could be "letting things happen or effortless action". As Lao Tzu wrote: "When you arrive at non-action, nothing will be left undone". Well, the common interpretation is aligning our actions with nature, not forcing anything, and taking action only when it's suitable.

Lao Tzu stated that using force always leads to unseen trouble. With force, he doesn't seem to point to the literal use of force perse, but rather to " forcing the flow of nature ". NATURE HAS ITS COURSE.

Another thing I'd like to write is :

" Some are meant to lead, and others are meant to follow, some must always strain, and others have an easy time, some are naturally big and strong, and others will always be small, some will be protected and nurtured, and others will meet the destruction. The master accepts things as they are and out of compassion avoids extravagance, excess, and extremes. "

Well, with effortless action, we're not so much doing, just letting things happen, but rather going, like RIVERS STREAM.
