If your desire is to control the pattern. You will always be unfulfilled.
Everything is always being changed by the pattern. Try to hold onto it, the more you stand to loose. Try to stop it, the more you feel every change.
There is a time for leading, A time for following. A time for motion, A time for rest. A time for strength, A time for weakness. A time for creation, A time for destruction.
Therefore shun excess, Shun pride, Shun power.
