RiverSnake Posted January 20, 2011 what he said. Finding someone emotionally attractive is key to finding them physically attractive for longer than five minutes. And if you dont resonate with someone on a spiritual level it isnt possible to find them deeply attractive. therefore not respecting your partners spiritual life is a serious obstacle to deep relating. as to whether Taoism 'itself' demands respect... for me the question doesnt fit the situation. Taoism isnt authoritarian : it need not demand anything. So from that pov the answer is no. But taoism is about authenticity, and if we dont respect authenticity, we are choosing what, instead?
