Any other Taoists on here

You mean you are a Taoist?


Bruce Lee had a great respect for Taoism. I like the mixing of spirituality and martial arts.

I guess that's why you are seen around football grounds so often. Guess you live with nature.

   Taoism is among those things that might be "true," but isn't terribly relevant.  That is, it doesn't help much making any daily decisions.  It doesn't help much deciding what is the "right" or "wrong" choice.  For my preferences it is too "fatalistic" an attitude toward life.  It can mean always being for the underdog no matter what, but it doesn't even do that very well.

   Another thing like that is the observation that if you don't know everything then you really don't know anything.  That might have a grain of "truth" to it, but it also isn't much use.  It also doesn't help decide any issues.  We have to move on with the "as far as we know" and "beyond a reasonable doubt" modes.

   Another thing like that is how many tiles are on the kitchen floor.  It just doesn't enter into many calculations except putting new tiles on the kitchen floor.

I'm more fond of zen, which has some similarities. I have no allegiance to it or anything like that, though. But sometimes I describe myself as a "Zen Satanist" rather than an atheist (I'm fond of aspects of LaVeyan Satanism, too).
