Responsibility--who me?

The Tao teaches us that our decisions, our actions, our contemplations are what sets us up in accepting that we are responsible for our own lives.

Try as might, we cannot change others.  We must accept them in Tao and make the best of us and they may or may not follow our lead.  It is not our job to make them follow.  The old saying goes "you made the bed--now sleep in it" is Taoist in nature.

Work on perfecting you.  And if Taoism becomes a part of others lives, gloat not, for it is Tao revealing itself, not you selling it.
