Lessons from the Book of Chuang Tzu - Chapter 19

**Know the difference between enjoying and engaging with the Universe and humanity** Don't look for the Universal in humans, but listen to the universal in the universe, for paying attention to the beauties and wonders of the Universe is life-giving, while attending to humanity damages life. So basically what is human in not worthy of our attention - except kindness - whilst the magnificence of the Universe is what to notice and enjoy.

Lessons from the Book of Chuang Tzu - Chapter 18

**How we get our world view all wrong** The whole world is incapable of judging either right or wrong **How to get our world view right** Actionless action can judge both right and wrong **Life as a mystery - simply and profoundly accept this truth**  All life is mysterious and emerges from actionless action Destiny has its particular structure which you can neither add to nor subtract from. **Helping people the wrong way or trying to persuade them to think like you** The problem is trying to feed a bird on what you eat rather than what a bird needs Do not try to make people conform **Death is just part of the mysterious process** Humans eventually sink back to what was in the beginning. All the multitudes of life arise from the mystery of beginning ans return there.
