Stosh Posted September 20, 2016 Well, we could always just forget about the mind and follow the desires of the heart. No philosophy needed there. I'm thinking that always was the Tao thing, that upon concluding that the basis of humanity is actually good, its perfectly feasible to do just what you suggest right there. However , this reminds me of that ( very funny) youtube video , which rhetorically asked , 'What good is being spiritual if no one knows it?' 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted September 20, 2016 Yes, Taoist philosophy is based on the concept that humanity is good or that it can return to being good and thereby all are able to live a peaceful and contented life. Then we open our eyes to what is at the moment and say, "WTF?!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then we open our eyes to what is at the moment and say, "WTF?!" Unfortunately. And then we ask why THAT is , and ....., you end up with philosophy,.. to reconcile the fabrications with the soul. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
