If you bend like a reed,
you'll eventually break,
if you stand like a mountain,
you'll eventually crumble,
if you flow with the wind,
you'll get blown away,
if you go with the current,
you'll get dragged under,
so how do we survive?
by bending like a reed,
standing as a mountain,
flowing with the wind,
and going with the current,
all at once...
such is the wirlwind of life.
