In Daoism, the concept “wuwei” means “no action.”
Wuwei means both refraining from certain actions and also acting to remove the conventional, restrictive boundaries of society.
So wuwei implies both criticizing existing norms and practices, and also not manipulating or overpowering others.
Wuwei also implies turning away from analytical and goal-oriented thinking. Instead, one allows the natural order of things to exist according to its own terms.
