The greatest Taoist of them all

[madMUHHH]

I think it is about time the the Taoist tradition finally starts to recognize the greatest Taoists of our time, one of the greatest Taoists of all time actually:

 

 

Super Mario

 

- This man has saved kingdoms countless times, yet to somebody meeting him on the street, he would appear to be a normal working-class guy. He obviously knows how to "hide his light"

- Despite the fact that the princess keeps getting kidnapped all the time, he never ever struggles with his role in life and accepts the things the way they are.

- By letting the player control his actions and never ever interfering with that, he is able to perform great feats. Action through non-action at its best! And anyone who has ever seen this guy jumping around and doing his thing can attest to the obvious effortlessness with which he performs his tasks.

- He could probably do any job in the world (race driver, tennis player etc.) yet he chooses to live his life as a simple plumber. He is a great example of humility to us all.

- He can throw fireballs that would make even John Chang jealous.

- By eating mushrooms he can grow in size. I don't know what kind of crazy external alchemy this is, but this man obviously knows his stuff.

- He rides a dragon (Yoshi) and freely traverses the galaxies.

- He seems to have died countless times, yet he still is alive. A true immortal.

Lots of yang/action with these guys. Where's the yin/stillness?

 

You have to turn off the game sometime.
