There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching that can solve all problems:



"Reversal is the movement of the Way; the weak is the application of the Way."

This means that the development of all things must go through a process of dialectical unity of opposites. Everything has its opposite, and when it reaches an extreme, it will inevitably transform in the opposite direction.

For example, the more you pursue strength, the more you must start from weakness;

The more you desire to gain, the more you must learn to let go;

The more you hope to achieve great things, the more you should start with small matters;

The more you seek quick success, the more you need to proceed slowly, because slow is fast, and less is more.

The normal state of the weak way is to place oneself in a "weak" position, always humble, persistent in small matters, continuously giving and contributing, and acting in accordance with the methods and laws of the Way.

The highest good is like water, nourishing all things without contention.

"Weak" represents the way in which the "Way" operates. It is invisible and subtle, functioning in an imperceptible manner, leaving no trace.

At the same time, it symbolizes the development of things, following the law from subtle to strong.
