Instead of dedicating your life to actualize a concept of what you should be like, actualize yourself.

If I tell you I'm good, probably you will say I'm boasting. But if I tell you I'm not good, you'll know I'm lying.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Taoist philosophy is essentially monistic. Matter and energy, Yang and Yin, heaven and earth, are conceived of as essentially one or as two coexistent poles of one indivisible whole.

The usefulness of the cup is its emptiness.

I've come to understand that life is best lived, not conceptualized.

I'm a philosophy major. That means I can think deep thoughts about being unemployed.
