Title: Reflection on Taoism

Taoism is acceptance of one’s life
...

Taoism is following ones breath to find peace
...

Taoism is been natural
...
But whatever it is,
concretely, it is good to stay on what the taoist believes
...
But life is full of problems, which
make me worry, hence, it is difficult? Many of the people, if not all, find the world with full of
contradictions: contradictions of colors; why he is white and I am black, could it be possible to
become white or can the two of us just exchange in colors? Contradictions of wealth; why there
are poor and there are rich? Or why I belong to the poor class, in Marx view to the laborers,
proletarians, why not being rich? It’s unfair
...
Why do some of the nations, if not all, aren’t contented of what they have
...
Well, in fact, whatever logic it is to be done by them, it is still always
be belonged to the Philippine state
...
Many things are in contradictions, which become our life difficult and
unnatural
...
Well, why is it
happening? How can we apply Taoism in these contexts of life?
Bigger problems come from a single little one, from man himself
...
A desire of
something man still doesn’t has, absolutely
...

Man desires a thing and by achieving it, he desires again a new one until it reaches that he cannot
reach anymore a certain desire which leads to frustration and dissatisfaction
...
”
Essentially, he desires for everything because of greed and lust for power and luxury, man
is not contented with a simple life, contradictory to what the taoist believes
...

(Zulueta, Philosophy made simple, p
...
)
Desire leads man to make things in contradictions and difficult
...
China desires to own and have a certain land which belongs to our country, is great and
concrete manifestation
...
Nevertheless, Plato’s thoughts can be the most fitting idea on this
...
” In which undeniably, true
...
Philippines is a catholic country but different kinds of injustices are
observed
...
Premarital sex
...
Some
of the priests demand for justice but never even reciprocating justice seminarians had done,
never even applying justice to their lives
...
But since
seminarians are just seminarians never been priests, they need to obey what have been asked
...
A simple way of living
...

Taoism is a good belief towards simplicity
...
But, there is a
struggle on how to apply this good thing that should be given a chance to be pondered and
indeed, do we need not to make a first step for a change?
GOD BLESS!
