Hello,
I remember when I was a young man at a book store and my friend told me about this book that had words filled with wisdom. I didn't give it much thought. At the time I was an atheist and any books dealing with religion was, in my opinion, rubbish.
It wasn't until my 20's that I started studying world religions to prove that they were in fact, hogwash, and I came across my old friend's book, Tao Te Ching. As I sat down to read it, I started to realize how brilliant it was. I've been studying it ever since along with eastern and western philosophy.
Now, at age 30, I've lost my path to peace and I sign up to this board hoping to find my answers. It's true, with my studies of western philosophy, Christianity, and other moral and ethical studies. I've gathered all this knowledge and i grow more confused by the day.
Please, help me seek the answers.
My first question: The tao te ching speaks of having great virtue, what is virtue and how do I become virtuous?
I know it seems like an elementary question but again, being born into christian family and studying philosophy has confused me on what the true path to virtue actually is.
