There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudd=
en
shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing su=
ch
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 still get
the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything. - Tsunetomo Yam=
