Taoism Point-of-View Text
Hi, this is AJ. Welcome to the point of view stories for "Taoism." Same story, but this
time we start with "Since last year..."
* * ** *
Since last year Tomoe has wanted to fight a gorilla. She has wanted to fight a
gorilla starting last year until recently. Tomoe has wanted to fight a gorilla since
last year. In fact, every day since last year she has contemplated her goal.
Starting last year, she started to contemplate and then every day she has
contemplated her goal every day since last year.
What has she contemplated?
She has contemplated her goal, her goal of fighting a gorilla. Because she has wanted
to fight a gorilla for one year, since last year.
But of course, every time she has contemplated fighting a gorilla, she has
realized that gorillas have brute strength. She has realized every time that they
are hard to fight. And so every day since last year she has gone to the gym.
Every day since last year she has gone to the gym and she has strained to lift
weights. She has tried very hard to lift weights. Every day she has strained to lift
weights. Every day she has worked out, exercised. Every day she has gotten
stronger and stronger and stronger, since last year. So she has wanted to fight a
gorilla. She has contemplated fighting a gorilla. She has gone to the gym. She
has exercised. She has strained to lift weights every day since last year, until
finally she was ready.
One day she said "I'm ready. I will proceed with my plan." And she did. She
proceeded with her plan. She flew to Africa. In Africa she saw a big, strong, huge
gorilla. But there was a problem. The gorilla had such a cute little baby. Oh no.
Tomoe visualized the baby crying. She imagined the baby crying. And so Tomoe
took the baby into consideration. She thought about the baby. And Tomoe
decided not to fight the gorilla. Instead she played basketball with the gorilla and
the gorilla baby. And everybody was very happy.

Okay, that's all. That's the end of our first mini-story. Again, you probably noticed there
was a change in there. Actually a couple of little changes, you may have noticed that.
