Wu Wei

There is a principle called Wu Wei.
Wu – Non
Wei – Forcing

Force is artificial. The opposite is natural.
It doesn’t mean that we do nothing and stay passive.

It’s the opposite.
It’s like a sailor who knows the tide.

As philosopher Alan Watts said –
Wu Wei is the art of sailing rather than the art of rowing. 

Sailing –
Like water flowing down the stream.
Like a child playing.
Like a great actor on stage.

Natural. Spontaneous. Playful.

Wu – Not
Wei – Serious
