I am glad that you liked it much, Ruth. I think what Bruce Lee is reflecting there rises from the philosophy as espoused in the ancient Chinese work, Tao Te Ching, whose authorship is ascribed to Lao Tzu. Verse eight in the Tao Te Ching, as translated by Addiss and Lombardo, contains this:
Quote:Best to be like water,
Which benefits the ten thousand things
And does not contend.
It pools where humans disdain to dwell,
Close to the Tao.
