Profisee

“There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. By doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you will still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to all things.”

The quote speaks to the inevitability of suffering and the futility of resistance when faced with forces beyond our control. The image of a rainstorm becomes a metaphor for life's unavoidable difficulties. When we accept that we will all get wet at some point, the experience no longer feels like an attack or mistake it simply is. This perspective aligns with the samurai philosophy of presence and acceptance facing reality as it is, not as we wish it to be. By surrendering to the present moment, even discomfort loses its edge. This principle is not passive resignation, but rather active clarity choosing resolve over panic, and purpose over illusion.
