That's interesting - does taoism have a conception of the world as inherently just?

That's what I think of as the Right's defining characteristic but this view might be years out of date now

buddhism and taoism are both similar to christianity in that most of the actual religious texts are very contrary to how most modern adherents behave themselves
og buddhism was basically a reaction to the horrific discrimination and classism built into hinduism but like most religions it very quickly was corrupted and there was an early buddhist schism in which a bunch of people did a fygm reinterpretation of the religion and shocker it became the popular version

not really but like most eastern religions it says you should try to not be a little poo poo
The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others, the happier he is.
The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.

what a surprise, people trying to make it mean something else is the most ironic thing to do for taoism~

no, taoism's views are "as is" so you never really have to wrack your brain and do mental gymnastics to justify things at all, thefore if the boot stamps on you its fine because thats just what it is!! :sun:

the comic is right about that buddhism likes to suffer but its always to prove something, where taoism accepts things unblinkingly

I mean yes, but this is also coming from someone who doesn't know how good he has it. You aren't going to get shot 15 times for reaching for your wallet or opening a car door in the UK or Germany.

He wasn’t opening a car door, or reaching for a wallet. If I recall he was running to catch a train while looking a bit foreign.

[Edit]No I was thinking of a different person killed by police under dubious reasoning
