This week has been an eye-opening experience, awakening a storm of emotions within me. There have been several instances in my life when I tried to adopt a façade of normalcy, only to find myself ensnared in the same relentless cycle. With immense effort, I could navigate through a mundane existence, but I could never truly silence the thoughts that churned within me or evoke the feelings that others seemed to express so effortlessly. It was always an act, a carefully constructed performance that left me gasping for breath, as if I were drowning beneath the weight of my own deception.

Like a dam on the verge of bursting, I felt an overwhelming need to release this pressure. The path of least resistance-perhaps that is the essence of the great Dao. Why struggle against the current when it is so much easier to surrender? This truth is not something I created; it resonates as a universal law, woven into the fabric of existence itself. It is part of a divine plan, immutable and relentless.

One might attempt to swim against this current, but such endeavors are exhausting and ultimately fruitless. It's akin to pushing a boulder up a steep hill, only to watch it roll back down to the valley by dawn. The futility of it all weighs heavily on my mind, reminding me that true freedom lies not in resistance but in acceptance.
