Relaxation and putting on an act

what do I want

to be praised, to be admired when I did good

and to be judged when I wasn’t a good boy

to be loved when I’m beautiful

and to be hated when I’m ugly

or

I want none of those things

and act on my own account

there seems to be a choice here

not of what I feel

but of what I do

 

I want to relax

but if I relax, there’s no guarantee I’m gonna be appealing, agreeable

I seem to be at the mercy of the Dao

I might be ingenious, I might be aesthetic, I might be enjoyable, but

I can just as well be unattractive, repelling, displeasing to the eye, to the ear

which action evokes which reaction is out of my control

for most of the time, neither do I know if I’m on stage or not, nor the taste of the audience

 

much of tension, anxiety, or the lack of relaxation comes from the need for me to put on an act

acting, as opposed to behaving the way I want

and maybe the most basic form of acting is rushing

that I do something sooner, faster than is comfortable

than the moment I want to do it

than the pace I want do it in

or even doing anything at all

so what I need to remember is to try and stop that

to stop rushing, to stop being violent on one hand

and not to allow to be rushed, on the other
