Wen Tzu - Verse 174, Part IV

from Verse One Hundred Seventy-Four
It is the Way of the universe to turn back when it has come to an extreme; increase leads to decrease.
~ Wen-tzu: Understanding the Mysteries ~
When the winds blow, the rain falls incessantly, the storm batters, or the fire burns, it is not long before the wind becomes a light breeze, the sun comes out, the clouds part or the flame dies. No matter what the weather dishes out, the extremes never last very long.

The same can be said of people and the situations of our lives.
