Who?

i resist nothing
yet overcome everything;
unable to adopt a fixed form
i occupy whatever shape
or vessel i encounter

my strength is limitless yet
it resides in my weakness;
yielding to everything
results in triumph over all

my nature is that of water
i am strengthened by surrender;
offering no hard edge to blunt
i smooth every hard surface
that assails me

i am aimless and have no
direction,
my action/directions result from
the forces that agitate
and move me to action;
my power arises from the forces
that prevail against me;
the stronger those forces
the more powerful i become

it is appreciated
tho not understood that all attackers
are overcome thereby,
defeated by their own manic forces

yielding to all force i am energised,
my nature is increased as i decrease
and return accumulated energies
to their source

i am always victorious though
i never seek victory,
who am i?
a question worthy of an answer
