1) The Japanese have a saying--wu-wei--
meaning doing-without-doing,
or "getting things done without trying/striving/pushing/shoving.

We need a word or a phrase that means the same thing
only applied to caring.

We need to care-without-caring.
To give our best to what is called for
in each situation,
with nothing at all at stake in the outcome.

We give everything with nothing to lose
and nothing to gain.
Pick ourselves up when it is over,
and give ourselves completely
to the next thing that is called for,
with nothing to lose and nothing to gain.

It is an attitude we all need to have
in the way we live our life--
like children on a playground,
loving what they are doing without keeping score.

Live without keeping score.
No wins. 
No loses.
Just playing the game
with your heart fully in what you are doing,
with nothing lost when it is done
no matter the outcome.

Why not live like that?
Untouchable.
Loving every minute of being alive.
Anyway, nevertheless, even so!
