i don't think he meant it as "do nothing." rather, he meant something more like accepting the world as it is given to you, accepting the truth instead of rationalizing, etc acceptance is a big part of moving on this isn't just an idealist guess on my part. just from the little I've read from his "Book of Five Rings" it's clear he was a pragmatist. his style/philosophy was essentially "do the best thing in the given situation," not different in spirit from Bruce Lee's style
