347 Clarifying
"Express yourself:
That is meaning."
Today's word is Clarifying and the message likens our mind to a well: it is good to pull from it good and bad to let fresh water replenish the well. Contemporary culture says do not express your darker content but not letting these elements be expressed a kind of pressure builds and ultimately they release themselves with a pressured force. In Tao we learn all force regardless of intention results in unintended consequences of unforeseeable magnitude. Things are only broken by the application of force, so it is much better to release the "...lust, hatred, cruelty, & resentment..." as it comes, with intention this can be managed without harm and in fact to good effect as with sublimation. An example is to cultivate and release these darker components we all experience during our exercise, or while expending our creativity, while venting with a trusted friend who knows how not to internalize such venting process.
