In the 7th Chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu shows us that living in selfless action is the key to fulfillment. This practice of walking in love and not worrying about what we cannot control brings satisfaction in ways we never imagined. When we are living this way, it may appear we are behind but find ourselves ahead without our push, force, or control! Also discussed Kate’s dilemma of feeling like she is being taken advantage of when she helps someone.
