3. Taoism & Taoists
Taoism (or Daoism) is a philosophical, ethical, and religious
tradition of Chinese origin that emphasizes living in harmony
with the Tao (also Romanized as Dao). The term Tao means
"way", "path" or "principle", and can also be found in Chinese
philosophies and religions other than Taoism. In Taoism,
however, Tao denotes something that is both the source and
the driving force behind everything that exists.
6. You are in the middle of a river when an empty boat rams your boat.
Chances are you would not get angry at the empty boat but.....
if someone was in the boat it would be a whole different story.
You might become enraged at the person in the boat holding onto the
rudder.

you off in
traffic, the kids that bullied you as a child, the
negative and
hurtful comments someone has made about you
are all empty, rudderless boats.
8. They have no other choice but to act as they did
because of their own
unexamined wounds, and they did not know
what they were doing and had little control
over it.
9. People who are not kind have no
control of their actions and are
unconsciously driven by their pain.

If we can’t avoid those who affects
us negatively….
