"When a man is born he is soft and supple. When a man dies he becomes stiff and rigid. Plants and trees are delivered delicate and tender. But when they die they become dry and rough. Therefore hard and stiff are symbols of death; soft and supple are symbols of life. Therefore: An army too mighty will not conquer. A thorny tree is doomed to be felled. Thus: The strong and mighty must be below. The weak and tender are above." Lao Tse Today, I was undecided on which quote to share, whether one from Epictetus or this one I show you. I am a bit worried! I recently resumed my evening exercise routine, the purpose is to stop being totally sedentary. Not long ago, I used to touch my toes without bending my knees, now, it has become impossible. So what the Eastern sage says resonates in my mind. I hope that soon I will recover part of my body flexibility. I wonder how rigid I will be mental. I know we all have expiration dates, but trying to get to the end as well as possible should be one of the main goals you should set for yourself.
