That's why Ron radiates zen mindfulness. He's right--you shouldn't try hard at all. That's one of the secrets of great meditation. It's when you try to make it into a chore or exercise that MUST BE DONE that meditation then, paradoxically, doesn't come to you. It's very similar to sleep. The Chinese actually prize this state of mind of "not trying so hard." It's called "wu wei." So it's great the Ron stumbled upon that truth about life without reading any of the Buddhist or Daoist scriptures or any self-help book.

I could definitely understand how it might be viewed as deception, given Ron had no idea how he got there and seemed like he was tricked, but I think persuasion would be more accurate. I don't think that it was implied that Chris lied about what he was doing or was being underhanded at any point. I do think however it was heavily implied that he was just so convincing in his charisma that he got Ron to come with him of his own accord. Ergo, Ron was persuaded not deceived.

I absolutely love Chris. Other characters are more favoured for being funny or not bothered like Ron or inspirational and funny like Leslie but Chris is my favourite just for his positivity. I know it's a point made in the show that his positivety is so intense, it's too much. You see that with his relationship with Ann but for me someone that positive would brighten my day every day.
