Taoism is a Chinese philosophy attributed to Lao Tzu which contributed to the folk religion of the people primarily in the rural areas of China and became the official religion of the country under the Tang Dynasty. Taoism is therefore both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism teaches to embrace wonder and the joy in living gracefully with style. Lao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer who is known to be the founder of Taoism. He is also credited as the writer of Taoism’s most sacred text, the Tao Te Ching and his words can apply to people all over the world.

Interesting to know we strive to control an outcome because our expectations are too attached to said outcome.

Lao tzu says: “individualism is like pissing in a white suit…it feels good and it shows

[@soundhealingbygene]

Well I've been told that I've been trying too hard and that was seen as bad wrong or negative but I have also been seen as not trying hard enough and that was seen as bad wrong or negative so which one is it and which one am I not supposed to do

[@seanjestersloan]

There needs to be a balance. You need to go about your business with the usual effort and hard work. However, once this work or business is completed you need to let go of trying to control the outcome or try to keep effecting the outcome with force. Let us take an example. You go on a date with a person that you like. During the date they start to feel that they may like you too but do not show it because they are shy. You then keep trying to find out if they like you in the same way but they start becoming uncomfortable by your insecurity of "needing confirmation". At the end of the day that person is displeased with your behavior and chooses not to go an another date. If you had not tried so hard and let things follow the natural course, they would have gone on another date as they did like you at the start. However, because you made them fell uncomfortable because you needed to calm your own insecurities by having to know if they liked you, you have pushed them away.

[@andreaspratama9695]

But you must learn very hard to really understand nature such as pragmatic thinking, so Lao Tzu is beyond wise & intelligence person or very inspiring & sophisticated troll

[@unkolawdio]

I'm not trying anyway,,,you assume too much

[@wyattbiker]

Great teaching for when you are single and no family nor ailment responsibilities nor demanding job to pay the bills.

[@captainandthelady]

This is a small thing but why is Tau pronounced Dao?

[@alistairfreedom2456]

Same reason fried rice could be pronounced fwhyed whyce

[@Drjoshington]

Somehow, a robot reading me the Tao isn't as impactful. Not sure why.

[@earltobe]

Its all BS

[@AwakenZen]
