 The way of virtue has described how one can receive the whole Earth. When we master the world, we become responsible for all life upon it. This is the definition of leadership. When a leader takes on the people's hardships, it shouldn't be for public approval, but to be able to serve them best. When we embody the Tao, we become unconditional love. In allowing ourselves to suffer, life itself becomes a lesson in virtual mastery, bringing us closer to the people we're called to serve.
