Speaking for my brief comment: No, not one of those stupid zen things. I was expressing what you were saying in a terse but poetic way. To be honest, its probably not any more comprehensible to those that don't already know what you are getting at than they way you are posting about it.
I'm not sure why you are being so overly careful to say so much about what your topic is not rather than what it it. Just because the 'thing' is subtle, does not mean it needs to be explained subtly.
OK, let me give a stab at being terse but not poetic, perhaps that would be more clear.
To 'be', one must not strive to do nor be forced to action by the environment.
