Man vs. Nature III; The "Nature's" Way

              "Lao Tzu's thought is driven by a sense of exile that derives from a fundamental rupture between human being and natural process. During the Paleolithic, humans began to be aware of themselves as separate from natural process, and the distance that this separation opened allowed the generative-centered worldview to arise..."

It was clear that what Lao Tzu is suggesting is a philosophy that gathers back the people to nature. To 'gather back' in a sense that these two things, human and nature, are primordially expected to be one; that human attaches their very selves to the nature's way of things. It was as if that man, in all its activities, sees nature as the cause of things, and all the cause that could be.

Now, in undertaking the said philosophy, we are to know that the idea of the "nature's way" is that there is no way at all. It is just that all things come to happen or subsist naturally, without any consideration that there is something (or someone) that drives or steers them to be so. Thus, when nature is at work, no one works at all.

Going back to the nature then means to be nothing and do nothing (wu-wei) at all. As what Lao Tzu has provided in answering the question what should the 'example-man' (or Taoist sage) do: HE MUST DO NOTHING! Let the nature do the things and operations, in that way, there will be harmony.
