Taoism

Just stick to the bible you pleb. Ancient chinese wisdom is too enlightening for an American anyway.

Learn to manage the way you apply effort to your life. Wu-wei is an archer who can release the arrow from a string without consciously thinking of letting go. Effortless effort.

No, the opposite you illiterate dumb fuck. The only thing Taoist literature you ever read was the dust cover.

Any books or reads that analyze the tao te ching like you just did?

Actually you didn't get it at all - unbelievably so, in fact.

>>9982905
You didn't either, in spite of clearly thinking you did.

Those who speak do not know. Those who know do not speak.

Yes, comrade. Let these brainwashed sheep slave on untill they die.

Read the I Ching next. A bunch of it is just giving much too much importance to symbols and an overbloated description of very simple and intuitive concepts so as to make them seem deeper than they are, but it's pretty much the basis for taosim in many ways, and also an unavoidable influence on the Tao Te Ching (it's also much, much longer, but not to the point where it should take you months to finish it.)

Agree. Shockingly gud

Philosophical Dao De Jing is best translation and commentary in English. It's not just about being smug, it's about being literally superior.

fuck off commie

Not really but you nailed how young people read the Dao De Ching.

Every self-described Daoist I ever met was a narcissistic prick who mistook spontaneity for authenticity and never had to care that their Dao was obnoxious to others.
