The concept of nature is what I found the most interesting notion in our readings. The fact that they want to leave everything upto nature's own devices and let nature take its course seems so reasonable and pragmatic. The whole concept of inaction and the rationale provided for this "inaction" theory seems to make sense and even though I try doubting it through contradictions, it does seem like the best solution! I think that people in modern world need to accept this approach a little more as a stress reliever. With such beliefs, people would only do what nature expects of them and nothing more and the relief of knowing what to do and not overexert carelessly is the best feeling in the world

I agree with you that nature--and the way nature is discussed in Eastern thought--is an intriguing concept. The notion of wu-wei seems to be a natural reaction to the belief that nature (as the Tao) is essentially benign.
