The Path of Least Resistance
The Path of Least Resistance (Taoism)Characters: WEN (anxious) and THE OLD MAN (fishing with no bait).Setting: A riverbank.WEN: (Pacing) I have to swim across. The current is too strong, and I’m losing time! If I fight it, I’ll drown. If I wait, I’m a failure.OLD MAN: The water doesn’t try to be anything, Wen. It just flows.WEN: It flows right over the rocks! It’s aggressive!OLD MAN: No, it’s soft. But over time, the soft water wears away the hard rock. It wins by not fighting.WEN: So I should just sit here?OLD MAN: Look at the willow tree. When the wind blows, it bends. The oak tree stands stiff and snaps.WEN: (Stops pacing) You’re saying I should go with the current, not against it?OLD MAN: Don’t seek the shore. Become the river. The shore will find you.
