The ancients teach the middle way. This encourages us to feel what we feel and deal with that feeling, good or bad, just stay with it. Do not judge what arises in your mind, don’t grasp at it, just let thoughts come and go. This way you stop struggling and discover an unbiased way of being.
Knowledge is more than accessing or processing information. One should never stop learning, never stop exploring, never stop going on adventures. Be like the explorers of old. The learning they experienced for themselves will always surpass those who merely read about their exploits.
Study the patterns that underline all things, devote yourself to learning the natural rhythms of nature and follow them. Live simply and serenely, sensitive to the changes that naturally occur and adjust so you are compatible with the energies of the day.
In society conflicts are unavoidable, sometimes you have to give up your own interests and ideas to chime in with others. This way you can reach a common understanding and are able to coordinate actions, maintaining harmony in the community.
Quote: Answer with kindness when faced with hostility.
