goal
What is an archer
Without a target?
It is not enough to
have the philosophy of Tao. One must act. Actions, not words, are
important. But mere movement is meaningless. One should have purpose.
Short-term goals help us determine each stage of our lives and
experience it completely. Long-term goals give us perspective and
continuity. Short-term goals help us understand the temporarality of
life and yet provide us with a way to benefit by that temporality.
Long-term goals give focus to the experiences that we accumulate.
Our goals should be entirely personal. No one knows us better than we
know ourselves. There is only one universal goal: a gracious death with
no regrets.
