Uncle Daoren Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Hi, some years ago I registered with websites of different creeds and philosophies to keep open as many options as possible. Itried to suffer buddhistically but even after defining 'suffering' in secular batcheloresque terms I never felt that I was really good at it (Zen/Chan seemed like an option for a while, but quoting Discordianism's Ho Chi Zen was mostly disapproved). Mystical monotheist approaches? Forget it! Did you ever try to tell the joke about Gepetto, Jesus and Pinocchio to someone explaining the subleties of the 'Cloud of Unknowing' or that Emina's Sufi dance would look better if the skirt was shorter? Okay. Daoism seems to be the last resort (the more so after my orthopaedist advised me to take up QI Gong....). Edited June 22, 2019 by Uncle Daoren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
