If you would have your actions in accordance with what is right, allow yourself to fall in with the dictates of necessity.

According to Chuang Tzu, the Way of the sages is to act from calm: one leaves one’s rest only when the situation truly requires it, and the action is then right and free of agitation. Today, before launching into a reply or an undertaking, ask yourself whether it is truly necessary; if not, stay a moment in your calm.
