Challenging Taoism

Striving to be an Uncarved block seems like a fair enough pursuit. But is "striving" something an Uncarved block would do? I mean, an Uncarved block probably also doesn't spiral into an existential funk because of one errant feeling at bar trivia night. What is the responsibility of a block that is perched on a ledge, and a random breeze pushes the block over just enough that it's weight causes a rockslide? Whether or not it is the block's fault doesn't really matter to me. What I want to understand is what is the block's responsibility?

It's almost like analogies don't work for the human condition.

Dumb block.
