Is the Tao something that always functions whether we fight against it or not, if there is only the tao, then nothing we do can take us away from it?
So we still have free will, we can make our individual choices but they are still aligned with the tao because all actions/ possibilities are contained withing the tao?
...............And why does it seem humans take some joy in seeing others suffer or having a difficult time, of all the problems in the world it is the one I find most troubling and strange?
