Brilliant article.

I shouldn’t try to find a useful conclusion to this article. For the moment, it should be enough just to know about the paradox of wu-wei. The word can help us recognize situations in which we are giving our best, it’s not successful, and we don’t know why. “Wu-wei!” we’ll think, and become aware that maybe we’re trying to impress a little too eagerly, thirsting for tennis scores a little too desperately, or brooding a little too eternally over that good last sentence, when all that’s left to do is hit Publish.

Brilliant article. I also liked the fact that there's no conclusion (or final thoughts, or takeaways! :-D). Your voice is so fresh. Thanks. :-)
