One Taoist told everyone that he could influence his destiny. His fate heard about this and appeared to him in the form of an old woman with a bag.
“In this bag,” said the old woman, “your whole life, and I am your destiny.” Answer me, how can you influence me if I predetermine the path of your life?
Without thinking twice, the Taoist grabbed the old woman, hit her on the head with a stick, took the bag and went on his way.
The Calm Ones say it right: “There will always be a third solution.”
Who now won’t believe a Taoist if he says that he influenced his destiny?
