In his writings on Taoism/Daoism, Chuang Tzu, (Chang Tsu, Zhangzi, Zhuang Zhou, Zhuangzi) wrote many fantastic stories illuminating the princliplas of Taoism. This one, where a man tries to run away from his own shadow and his own footsteps, demonstrates the principal teaching of Wu Wei or non-action. The concept of Wu Wei even in it's simplicity becomes extremely complex once we try to "understand it." Like the Tao itself, Wu Wei cannot be understood, however, the heart and body can comprehend things the mind cannot. But, this story may help our minds to remember its great teaching. enjoy!
I do want to make more of these, probably after my next projects.

Don't be afraid to enter the darkness (that being taking a risk to change your life) because there's a very good chance you'll end up where you wanted to be/achieve your goals. Thanks for sharing the video.

He tought that he will be happy after he become that process never ends, but he realiz3 that in stillness.

To become one with the universal, Taoism believes you need to, at some point, stop creating Karma, any action or effect on the world, good or bad. Perhaps the shadow and footsteps are a metaphor for this.
