I've decided to add a 'daily Tao' each day - or whenever I remember, whichever comes first. Main reason is to help me get more into Taoism myself, and the secondary reason is to invite comments from you guys, if you're interested or inspired enough to do so. (No pressure!) Let's begin…
The Way
The Way that can be experienced is not true;
The world that can be constructed is not real.
The Way manifests all that happens and may happen;
The world represents all that exists and may exist.

I'm curious. With all of America's security and rescue preparations over the past 4 years, how is it that Pakistan was able to get military and civilian personnel on the ground, and rescue operations well underway, within 24 hours of the earthquake that hit without warning, and the US was unable to do the same after a week - and they had almost a week's warning in the first place?
How is it that the mightiest superpower, the most technologically advanced, the most culturally superior (allegedly) country in the world was unable to do in a week what Pakistan was able to do in a day?
