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 Happiness.

Or, rather: pretending to be happy.
A portrayal of happiness, when such a state does not, exist, subverts happiness.
Portraying the appearance of happiness, then passing judgement on the required happiness-level of others, does not promote happiness.
Taoism is: neither happy, nor unhappy. It is whatever it is, whenever it is.
Taoism is not: happiness, or the appearance of it.
