Nonreaction Quotes

“Wu wei teaches that genuine strength lies not in forcing our way through life like the proverbial bull in the china shop, but in moving with the current, adapting to changing circumstances, and finding peace even when surrounded by swirling eddies of chaos. As such it’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the most effective action is … none at all.”
