Do not contend with the heavens; all things have their destiny. Do not contend with events; you cannot defeat cause and effect. Do not contend with others; it is easy to hurt feelings. Do not contend with yourself; being too tired is a disease. A heart as calm as water can hold the stars and the sea; a person as indifferent as a chrysanthemum can avoid disasters.

What is meant by not contending is not weakness or yielding, but rather, after being tempered by worldly affairs, seeing through the patterns and accepting the impermanence. It is the highest wisdom of reconciling with the world and oneself. #BTC
