Your Life In the Flow of Tao IV

Ta-Wan


In time:

We have a desire to understand well enough to be content.

In this pursuit we think that with just a little more knowledge than we have now, we'd be happy.

We feel that we are separate to the world. We can then feel alone, anxious or incomplete.

We can also feel confident, happy, content.

We aim to only have the good side of life.

We have an urge to cultivate a sense of self which is always well.

We feel we can influence ourselves or the world. Pursue pleasure. Develop a high understanding.

We seek for or think we have a technique. But there is frustration here as pleasure like anything, fades.

We are left feeling that we just need the one thing that will provide this lasting clarity, lasting fulfillment.

So we are ever left confused as we never find this lasting method.
