What is Behind It All?

I wanted to follow the Emotional Hunger talk with this quote...

Following the Pattern

The Tao of Power, Lao Tzu’s Classic Guide to Leadership, Influence, and Excellence by R. L. Wing

"What is curved becomes whole:

What is crooked becomes straight.

What is deep becomes filled;

What is exhausted becomes refreshed....."

The ancient saying is more like a riddle on the meaning of life and its difficulties...

"What is curved becomes whole

Are these empty words?

To become whole

Turn within."

What is behind our difficulties, the fears we have learned and the challenges we now face? Certainly, the Universe doesn't waste a moment of pain and discomfort and call it "unimportant"!


What could possibly be a value out of an insurmountable past that is difficult to leave behind or times when life is stacked against us?

Could this ancient saying be suggesting it is to drive you "in" 

To discover your true self 

Your true strength, and 

True love?
