The Tao Of Harry Potter


“Harry, after you are able to finish Voldemort, what will you do in life”? asked Ron
“First Ron I have to kill him. After, When I have done my goal and no more evil will be near me and my friends, I would probably try to change the world to make it a better place for everyone.” Said Harry
“Harry what about us, we have been your friends in all your life, are you just going to leave us behind? Asked Hermione
Harry thought of this question and relized that evil will pursuit him everywhere he went “Guys you two have always been there for me but, evil will always be on my back and I do not want to risk youre lives.” Said Harry
“Come on Harry we will always be there for you and will be with you in all challenges.” Said Ron “ Harry and about what you said earlier do you really think that three wizards are going to be able to clean up all the world of evil?”
“Well I am not hundred percent sure we will make it but we can try our best.” Said Harry
I am leaning more to the side that we will not be able to change it because life has its own way and things will fall in to place. I think we can’t interfere with destiny but we will try.” Said Hermione
“I have always though since little that things happen because they are meant to happen. For example if you do not want to go to a place in your whole life, but you are meant to go you will eventually go even if you do not notice that you have been taken there.” Said Ron
Harry though about this for a while and then responded “What if we go and ask the creators of heaven and earth?”
“Harry they are not part of us, they are of the unknown realm and we belong to the ten thousand things” said Hermione
“Hermione is correct the gods belong to an unknown and unborn realm, one that is used but never filled up, there people are unborn and therefore never die. In the other hand we are in earth where there is beauty because everything is ugly, we have to accept out reality as humans and be humble to the great things that are unknown.” Said Ron
“In that case what you are saying is that as humans we can’t do anything to be better?” asked Harry
“Of course we can, but we can’t do anything to change the way of the world.” said Hermione
“What is the way of the world?” asked Harry
“It is how thing will happen and we can’t do anything about it. It is the Tao of the World and Gods” said Hermione
“Then, how are we supposed to be good? Asked Harry
“you can be good by being a fair and just ruler.” Said Ron
“Also by meditating deep into the heart.” Said Hermione
“You may sometimes need to suffer to become better, but the sufferings are a way for the human nature to become better.” Said Ron
“Ron I would never have thought that you could explain the principles of life so well” said Hermnione
“Are you saying that I do not know how to live?” asked Harry
“Harry do you boast and brag about some of your qualities? Asked Ron
“Sometimes” said Harry
“If you do not boast you will receive recognition, if you do not quarrel no one will quarrel with you.” Said Ron
“Harry a very important thing you have to remember always knowing when to stop averts trouble. If you sharpen something too much it will blunt. If you fill a cup too much it will spill, so then knowing when to stop is essential to live.” Said Hermione
Thank you guys I think now I know how to live better and will use your teachings to guide my life.” Said Harry
