ValleyStream Posted September 15, 2014 Hello, I am a US Navy Veteran who is a current student at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. I am majoring in Computer Engineering. My focus in life used to be happiness. I would chase the joy and block out all the negativity only to have the negativity become more profound along with the joy. I was completely ignorant of Taoism and i was one of those people who always asked myself, "Why does life suck?" or "Why does this have to happen to me?" or "Why cant things just work out?". Any negativity in my life was so profound in contrast to the great joy i was also experiencing. After years of this mentality i heard about the word Dao and looked into the subject. Everything i read reflected my intuition and answered all my questions. Since then i have remained at peace. I have been meditating, practicing taichi, neidan and other various concepts of Daoism. I am here to learn and interact with people who share my passion for The Way. Happy to be here! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
