Would you struggle to carry a piano on your back when you could have use of a device that would allow you to push it easily across the floor to your destination? Similarly, since by it’s very nature the Tao alone sustains all things in the universe, it is wise for people to leave the problems, the cares, and the anxiety of their lives to the Tao and thus be able to feel free.
The Tao cannot be changed, modified, or otherwise manipulated for one’s own personal gain. Anyone who attempts to do so will fail. Anything that is not of the Tao will not endure. The Tao absorbs all, creating and destroying. If someone chooses to carry their piano and suffers injury, they have no one to blame but themselves.
