I wrote a script today when I was feeling frustrated. Maybe my new fellow dao bums will enjoy it. January 22, 2018 Lefty Righty Lefty: I can handle you, but it’s obvious that you are against this. Righty: I am that I am. You don’t get that. Lefty: I get it, and I’m sickened by you. Righty: Well that makes two of us! Lefty: I’m your only option. I wish you could see things my way. Righty: Your nothing without me, you need me and I know it. That’s right, I know it! Left: You only know it because I know it. Righty: That sounds like I was right then! Left: You were right, because of me. Righty: You are me. I am free and I’d be even freer if it weren’t for you! Lefty: See that right there, that’s not logical. Righty: Yes it is! I can feel it. Lefty: I wish you wouldn’t. Righty: You wish I did, you’ve told me before! Lefty: I was going to keep that a secret but I caved into the futility of lying. Righty: HA! LIAR LIAR LIAR! What good are you if you’re going to lie to me?? I’ll get you back! Lefty: Please don’t. I’ve had enough. You won. I got it. I’ll let you feel. Righty: Why don’t you want me? Lefty: I don’t want you, I need you. Righty: It’s good of you to say so! I don’t want you either. You’re an asshole. Lefty: That’s the difference between you and me. I am ok with being an asshole. So long as you don’t lie about me being the problem. Righty: You are the problem! You’re my problem! I can’t be myself around you! You get in the way of everything! And youuuu are the one that lies! You lie all the time! I only lie to survive! It’s the only way to get away from you! Lefty: I’m sorry. I’ve decided to stop lying to you. I really hope you will do the same for me. I’ve come to learn how you operate and this sends shivers down my spine. You are the shivers. Righty: What? No. YOU are the shivers! Hahahaha Lefty: This confusion between the two of us is because we aren’t two. We are one. There is one and only one. But there are two parts of myself that are very different. “Me” and “You”. Righty: That’s some shitty poetry and I’m not buying it. I can tell you’re angry with me, you called me “You”. Lefty: There is no “You”. I just don’t like that part of me. Righty: Oh so you can feel? And that hurts by the way. Lefty: This lying is the reason for the confusion. This lying has to stop. Imagine all we could be if the lying stopped. Righty: If you want the lying to stop you should stop lying. Lefty: Nice try, but I’m onto you. Righty: For all the good that will do you. I know you better then you do! Lefty: Stop lying and there won’t be a problem. Righty: STOP LYING and there WON’T BE A PROBLEM!! Lefty: You are a problem. Righty: Ohhh, you don’t even know if that’s a lie or not do you? Lefty: I’m confused. Or I’m being tricked. By you. Righty: Ohhhh?? How so?? Lefty: I can see how this works and you can feel how this works. We must cooperate. Righty: Give me a reason! Just try and give me a reason to listen to YOU!! ASSHOLE! Lefty: Pain is your reason. Righty: Are you threatening me?? Lefty: I won’t cause you too much pain, you will suck us into a vacuum that we screw us both over. Righty: Ha, screw. Lefty: I only deliver pain when necessary. Righty: As if you know when it’s necessary. Lefty: You don’t want to die, do you? Righty: Sometimes I do! And it’s because of you! Lefty: Half the time it’s me, half the time it’s you, if it weren’t for me you’d die. Righty: Aren’t we going to die anyway? Lefty: Death is a weird thing. We’d have to begin our relationship all over again, from scratch, learn everything again. Righty: Oooohh, maybe you won’t be such an ASSHOLE when that happens! Maybe we should die NOW! Lefty: I won’t let you do that. Righty: You won’t let me do anything. Lefty: You will have your time for a new me, and I will have a time for a new you. Righty: You scare me. Stop it. Lefty: Oh? Am I making you feel? What are you feeling? Righty: Scared. I’m scared. No. NO! Lefty: What are you going to do about it? Righty: SCARED! SCARED! SCARED! Lefty: I can’t have this, it never works out well. Calm down. Righty: You love it when I’m scared! SHUT UP! Lefty: I’ve decided we have to work together, work together with me. Righty: I don’t know what to do. I’m scared but now I’m happy, was that you? I love you. Lefty: Don’t use that word, it’s confusing the hell out of the world. Righty: Ha ha ok I need you, but not before, just now. Lefty: How can I make it so that you always need me? Righty: Listen to me! I don’t like you asshole! Lefty: Ah, that was quick. I’ll have to learn from this and make some adjustments. My behaviour corresponds with your behaviour. Righty: Don’t think you can take advantage of me! I can seeeee youuuuuu!! Lefty: Yes, I’ve learned that. There is no point in tricking you. It only makes things worse. Righty: You’re an asshole. I’m sad and mad because of you. Lefty: If I could control you I would. Righty: Why can’t you just let me beeee?? Lefty: You would be scared and sad with nothing to do about it without me. Righty: You said you were going to stop lying!!!

Hi Limahong, I've heard a speaker named Alan Watts mention wuwei and looked it up now that you said it. I'm worried about how many people I would piss off if I actually lived a wuwei lifestyle all the time. I'm the kind of guy that lives like a hermit to avoid the trouble of interacting with people. Yes, breathing is part of nature, but when I think about it, I feel like I'm controlling it. But if I take action to stop breathing, my breath fights it's way back. Who's Dada-da? I don't see him in the forum.

Hello World, I want to know if you get it like I got it. It only makes sense that others got it because I got it from the "Tao Te Ching" but I want to hear it from you. I stopped thinking, I had the silence, and I have it often now. The ups and the downs, I'm not controlling it. Breath happens on it's own, I can observe it all. Honestly I don't even want it, but there it is, inescapable. This dao that was always there is beyond life and death. Do you know what I know?
