“You see, we’re resisting all the time. If you were physically aware of all your muscular reactions, you would find you’re going around most of the day doing this, you know, fighting something. You can get a person to lie on the ground and say, now look, you’re completely supported by the floor. You won’t fall down, so let go. But it’s very difficult for people, because they’re afraid that if they don’t hold themselves together, they will turn into a nasty goo that will all fall apart and drip through the floor.”

— Alan Watts, Taoism
