Dreamingawake Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) I came to a similar conclusion as the first pic through contemplation way before I had ever heard Daoism. I figured it as 'the punishment is part of the crime." If you hurt someone, they're gonna want to hurt you back. If you kill someone, their friends and family will want to come kill you. The list goes on and on. It was a hell of a realization for me because it dawned on me that if your actions have consequences, plus the suffering inflicted by you conscience, then why would any god or gods need to go out of their way to punish you on top of all the rest? That would be just like this: Edited February 14, 2010 by Dreamingawake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
