Daoism

@90sRetroFan Why do you not like Daoism? I think I have a vague
idea already of why you don’t like it from the moderate amount
of knowledge that I have about it, but I’d like to hear it from
your own mouth, since I like hearing your thoughts, and you
always articulate them really well

I have answered similar questions before, so please feel free to
ask follow-up questions to my earlier responses:

> I definitely wouldn’t call Taoism left-wing. Taoism would view
the concepts of left and right as complementary opposites, and
thus feel no loyalty to either one or the other (and indeed
consider loyalty to either as foolish), but instead want and
expect the pendulum to keep swinging between the two in
perpetuity, and only actively intervene to stop either side from
becoming so powerful that it upsets the balance of the swing.

would have chosen it over Taoism for fusion purposes. Note also
that the earlier White Lotus Society did not include Taoism, but
limited itself to Buddhism and Manichaeism:

Consider what Jung was saying about Schopenhauer in the same
paragraph: “He was the first to speak of the suffering of the
world, which visibly and glaringly surrounds us, and of
confusion, passion, evil — all those things which the [other
philosophers] hardly seemed to notice and always tried to
resolve into all-embracing harmony and comprehensiblility. Here
at last was a philosopher who had the courage to see that all
was not for the best in the fundaments of the universe.” I would
count Taoism among those which try to resolve evil into
all-embracing harmony and comprehensibility.
