seems there is no one else here.
my young friend little purple liked my version of wu wei which i apply quite frequently. sometimes i get a procession of persons wanting my intervention in their problems (to be cleare i should say these "problems" often involve a desire to get back at someone)so i listen attentively maybe even take notes which i dont keep for more than a few minutes, then do nothing. it seems to work, i sleep the better for it.
some questions better left unasked, some questions better left unanswered. some questions have deeper meaning, hiding true question. someone asked me "will this rose ever bloom again" questioner already knows the answer, the bush may bloom but the rose dead already. why bother to ask? so i not bother to answer.
so i dont wait three days to eat, and grief (even if i grieved) for the rose should not last more than three years why would one be harmed by a dead rose?
盼望 个,盼望 个幸 福 来了

As a chinese that do not understand written chinese, I had to look up 'wu wei'
So here's from me, a little musing.
From 'nothing', a human being grows
And learn to want everything.
From 'everything' a life is told
That happiness is 'possession' of 'things'
From having 'everything', saddness grows
And life becomes 'nothing'
From 'nothing' peace gains a hold
And happiness is letting go of 'things' |
