Why?

Throughout the Western world, there are many who have adopted the Eastern practice of taoism, as an alternative to Christianity.
Many are atheists. Many are emotion-driven. Many are politically-motivated. Most of these lean heavily to the left.
Thus by-passing the most fundamental tenet of taoism: It is all about Balance.

To call yourself a "taoist" carries a responsibility.
To not misrepresent an ancient "Way" to suit one's own ego, or political stance.
There being, so many, so guilty of this, is the sole reason for the existence of this site.

Claiming to be something, requires you to be what you claim to be.
Not merely to claim it.

Being a Ghost.

I find I am suddenly unable to post a comment, on my own blog.
Strange! Initially exasperating, and then...

Taoism is: being unconcerned about such things.
Taoism is: allowing amusement to replace irritation.
Taoism is not: jumping up and down, tearing my hair out, over mysteries.

It's a bit like a power-cut. Electricity is something that rapidly gets taken for granted, and then "poof" it is gone. Aieeee! What do I do now?
Something that does not require electricity...

    Clarity appeareth...
    One discovers one is unable to post a comment, when a HTML tag is inadvertently left open.
    Blogger posts no hint, or explanation.
    I love mystery!
    Without it, we become incapable of life.

    Without "randomness" as a construct, even errors have meaning. It's like a zero in a complex number, like 102134803 -- it serves an important role, even if we never like to have zero donuts.
