Taoism teaches us that life is a concentric circle. Nothing stands still--we all are evolving souls. On different points in our journey (hence the reason NOT to deal harshly with those not a your point of the journey)differing in our paradigms, in our emotional maturity levels, in our spiritual evolution: make no mistake, in our universe nothing stands still.
New learning opportunities are not always pleasant: crisis in our life. Christianity uses Romans 8:28 to explain the purpose and source of hardship; Taoism uses the world as instructors: instead of multitudes embracing despair, these folk pick themselves up, dust off their pants, set new goals, and follow their dreams--no matter how tattered they become. People of Tao adjust to life's changes rather than meeting adversity with pride and rigidity.
When problems do arise, people of Tao discover the solution to the problem long before the question of who is responsible is answered. The solution, not the blame is the goal.
We are challenged to accept responsibilities for our life choices.
We are to walk as peacefully as is possible with all people.
