I am like a little pencil in God's hand. He does the writing. The pencil has nothing to do with it.
Tao te Ching
74 When people do not fear death, There is no use trying to threaten them with death. If people value their lives, and those who break the law were being executed, Then who would dare to commit criminal act? The life and death of all beings are handled by the executioner of Nature. Those who substitute the nature executioner to kill, Is like replacing the master carpenter to chop the wood. One who substitutes the master carpenter to chop the wood, Rarely does not hurt his hands.
