    The Zhuangzi.
    I tried a few times to describe why but I’m having a hard time of it. I guess it made me accept that I can’t control everything and that there’s a natural ebb and flow in most things. Not in a defeatist kind of way. But more like you ride out the bad and find joy where you can. You never know if the alternative could have been worse.
    Basically it made me appreciate the weird and little things in life and not overthink the big.
    There’s a lot more to it, but it’s one of the lasting benefits it gave me.
