Wu-Wei and Tao

For me to apply Wu-Wei and Tao ideas to my everyday life would be extremely hard. They are very similar when it comes to what they mean. They both pretty much mean that you can’t let anything annoy, upset or bother you. It means to do everything that is natural, non-aggressive or violence. To do something but nothing at all. If something like my house was to catch on fire I know I wouldn’t be able to stay inside and do nothing. I’d either try to put it out, call for help, or get out as soon as possible. This is also similar to if I saw someone get beat up by someone else, I couldn’t just stand there and watch or keep walking without doing something. With these examples it proves that I definitely WOULD NOT be able to live by these ideas.

I definantly wouldn't be able to live out these beliefs either. It seems like people who are followers of these beliefs live a hard life because now of days we as people are just to spoiled.
