Bump?

Why not ask Daoist apologists? I imagine they would say "raping babies isnt TRUE spontaneity"

>>1550558
Because daoism also promotes self control and abstinence as ways to master the self, and seeing how the self fits into the greater whole. You could be an asshole and a daoist or you could be a saint and a daoist. Daoism is just a lens to view the world through.

Also I should note that daoist saints are sometimes assholes and self-serving, sometimes unspooked, and sometimes completely spooked. The virtue of daoism lies in it's ability to grant perspective rather than dogma.

There are so many different sects of Daoism. Daoism is a religious tradition.

"Daoism"(really a modern western new age invention) has just as much dogma as any other religion.

From what I understand Taoists believe believe traditional morality is on the right track but is ultimately shallow and arbitrary, they believe through becoming one with the Tao you can have a much deeper appreciation for people and life in general.

>>1550734
Yeah i know it does but what's the point if i'm still in the Dao? Why should i master myself?

Bump?

By getting you in jail.

It's a very this-wordly religion, if you want a car you don't pray for it, you work and earn it if able, or re-evaluate whether you need it to be happy to begin with if it's really beyond your grasp.
