this is my short reflection to the first part of a chapter in the Tao Te Ching:
every ending requires some middle area that leads up to the ending. There is no such thing as a story with only a beginning and an ending, no good ones at least. In that spirit it requires a very subtle, but simple, perception of the way things are.

A couple years back a friend told me that there is no such thing as "good and bad"... I never quite found the logic or sense in this, but because it was so confusing and unconventional, i immediately took it to heart for serious consideration... This is my general reflection on the subject now:

Human beings cannot do whatever they want. If they really could do whatever they wanted, than anyone could do anything without having any negative consequences...
therefore, there must be some larger underlying force than the human being.

Im currently in the midst of a three-week trip in Korea but it was two nights ago that I had a notion of revelation. In many ways it wasn't a new idea or thought. It was more of a wonderful clarity, as if the particularly sad mood had warranted this sense of harmony.
