“Wei” – Action
“Wu” – Something Negative
“Wei – Wu – Wei”
Action – by - non – action
“Daoist principle of action.”
It is only by going against the Dao that one
loses one’s peace and tranquillity.
It is by misunderstanding the nature of reality
that one suffers and thrown off balance.
“The Dao on its constancy
engages in no conscious
action, yet nothing remains
undone.”
The end of action is to imitate the
natural flow of nature by not
overdoing one’s task and finding
balance among things.
Knowing when efforts is appropriate
and when it’s wasted.
