Even though that Desert Storm was unprincipled, but the general who fought the war and won by using a great strategy from the Art of War.

Stosh...... Have a great evening to you too.......

No fault was found. Just to be sure that we do understand the same...........

Please follow this advice Just get the thought across and don't play with semantics.....!!!

WOW, you knew it all..........

Gathering allies is only a preventive measure in the art of war. This is the peaceful side of Tsun's philosophy. If you have read the side of the real battle in his philosophy, then it would be a brutal war. It is time to kill to win by all means. There are two sides of the application in the art of war. Regardless, the object is to win a war. It is only a matter of what is the best way to win with the least casualties.

Don't you see one gathers allies is part of fighting a war by not creating enemies to fight in a war. BTW The art of war is really a psychological war rather than physical war in a battlefield. Battle in the field is what one wants to avoid.

Follow this advice

Post #2 is a good advice for having the Tao Te Ching Classic to be Translated properly. Thus it can clear lots of notions about Taoism. IMMHO.

So, Lao Tze was the one who introduces an arbitrary bias about Tao....!?!?!?

专名 means a dedicated name. Are you sure? Could 恆名 be translated "a proper name" I said it can be a proper name but not translated as proper name.

The center exists first, then so does the outer; What your translation was actually saying: The center exists first, then so does the outer(exists first) ;

It could be a proper name; but most lightly not in this case. Your MDGB dictionary is in err.....

Not a chance, Cantonese will never die....??? There are lots on Cantonese songs which the Putongwa speakers are eager to sing but with an mandarin accent. Jason.... Thanks....

Which one is first........???

They don't call it the "one finger stand" for nothing........ :D

Under normal breathing, most lightly, there is less chance of getting hyperventilation. Unless, it was artificial by forcing oxygen into the lungs like they do in the hospitals.

Smoking causing the lungs to be blocked up from breathing. It is the lack of oxygen in your brain which caused your depression.

What can be more ultimate than Tao....???

How do you compare the Topmost and the Ultimate Tao; are there more than two Tao.....????

There are many discussions about the subject already in the past posts. It would be a tedious repetition to go over it again and again. If you have the time, you may scroll through the Taoist Discussion and General Discussion sections. I had posted lots of posts about the subject of Chi Kung.

How and what do you mean by that....??? I didn't see a time element which involved with that....!!!
