In verse 78 of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu says “Nothing in this world is as soft and yielding as water, yet for attacking the hard and strong, none can triumph so easily. It is weak yet none can equal it. It is soft yet none can damage it. It is yielding yet none can wear it away. Everyone knows that the soft overcomes the hard and the yielding triumphs over the rigid.” Non-resistance is the way of water. So what does this mean and how does it apply to our lives? A discussion of looking at non-resistance from a TCM perspective is presented.
