Tao Bible - Ruth 1:20-21

And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
~ King James version ~

Tao afflicts nothing.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~

In keeping with the way her society views life, Naomi believes that, because her husbands and sons died over a period of years, God has turned his back on her.

Tao is formless and eternal. That which has form eventually grows old and dies. This is the way of life.
