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.

Not Equality.

We are - almost without exception - not equal, whatever "equality" means.
"We" refers to the still-living. Thus we are all equal in terms of possessing life.
Other than that, there is nothing "equal" about any of us.
This is so blindingly obvious, that nobody notices.
Like The Meaning Of Life: So simple that surely, it can not be what it actually is: To Live It.
Taoism is: being true to whatever we discover we are. Utterly unique, while being a part-of the universal whole.
Taoism is not: a commitment to the "equality of all people".
