Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line.
- The TTC would like to remind us that water should be our role model.
- Though is seems soft and weak, it can overcome anything, no matter how hard and strong the thing seems.
- In the same way water slowly but surely wears down a mountain, we can achieve any task if we approach it softly and take our time.
- The TTC claims that everybody in the world knows this is true, but that it's sometimes hard to put it into practice.
- Our first instinct seems to be to fight fire with fire, rather than fire with water.
- The chapter ends by telling us again that humility is the way to go.
- Through humility we gain personal power.
