It's a good one. But I like better Chinese Taoism theory on life values which gives universal directions when you, as an adult, are experiencing curelty in real life, ie., each trying to cheat or outwit the other...PRIMROSE, Taoism is the phylosophy teaching how to go out of the ugly human society,which is sort of an inner sight.

Here is part of Taoism

The Sage is occupied with the unspoken
and acts without effort.

Teaching without verbosity,
producing without possessing,
creating without regard to result,
claiming nothing,
the Sage has nothing to lose..


A dramatic description of wu wei is found in chapter 2 of Zhuang Zi:

A fully achieved person is like a spirit! The great marshes could be set on fire, but she wouldn't feel hot. The rivers in China could all freeze over, but she wouldn't feel cold. Thunder could suddenly echo through the mountains, wind could cause a tsunami in the ocean, but she wouldn't be startled. A person like that could ride through the sky on the floating clouds, straddle the sun and moon, and travel beyond the four seas. Neither death nor life can cause changes within her, and there's little reason for her to even consider benefit or harm.
