Thoughts on flexibility from the Tao Te Ching
Men are born soft and supple;
Lao Tzu Image from Fearless Soul
dead, they are stiff and hard.
Plants are born tender and
pliant;
dead, they are brittle and dry.
Thus, whoever is stiff and
inflexible
is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life.
The hard and stiff will be
broken.
The soft and supple will prevail.
