This concept appears to be the most difficult to comprehend. It's also the one I've had the greatest difficulty discussing. We tie our notions of action so tightly to the process of striving. We cannot seem to imagine one without the other. We tend to fall back on rationalizations that to reject striving is to be nihilistic, that disillusion can only end in despair, and that hope consists in buoying our optimism. Faced with the most pressing case for letting go of the current paradigmatic world-view we fall short of being able to imagine action that isn't the result of striving, action that is truly emergent, not manufactured or assisted into being.
