What does it mean to work? It’s a type of
struggle, not a forced one, but easy in that the one goes into it without
forcing themselves. It’s a desired effort on the part of the one. It’s
something the one puts effort into in order to better themselves and the world.
It doesn’t feel like the one is going against the grain, but with it. It’s a
natural passion in one’s heart that offers its brilliance to others. It could
be anything one engages in, there is no right thing. It’s what the one feels
naturally pushed towards to do, it doesn’t matter why, it is Tao expressing
itself through the one, through the work they are eager to pursue. Humbly
producing a mastery of one’s craft. Contemplating and working towards bettering
the self as a tool for others.
