A Free & Open Source Curriculum 
Thursday 3 February - Week 1, Day 5 Non-Intervention The very softest thing of all can ride like a galloping horse through the hardest of things.
Like water, like water penetrating rock.
That is why I know it is wise to act by doing nothing.
People teach in the world what I know to be true:
Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching
Sometimes when we want to intervene in a conflict situation, we bring our own anger to bear, and want to impose our will, our solution. By holding back, by non-intervention, we can release our anger; when we do take action, it can flow with the natural course of events, not against it - wei wu wei - doing without doing, effortless action. Pause before you intervene in situations today and consider the option of non-action, of observing and of waiting until your purpose is clear. Find out more about Lao Tsu, his teaching and philosopy when and where he lived, and about the Tao Te Ching - The Way of Nature and its Virtue. |
