@NathanManga I have taken a class on eastern religion in college and we learned about taoism. Me never having previous experience (or even knowledge of its existance) I was as "uneducated" as one could get. One thing the professor did mention on multiple occasions is what is lost in translation. When we discussed "beauty and ugliness" that I understood, that it is subjective. What I do not fully understand to this day is the negative phrases to describe the Tao. (the Tao is not X)
if u are trying to learn taoism please dont learn it in english it will give you a wrong idea of what taoism is, if u do wanna learn taoism u need to have to deep understanding of chinese and the chinese culture
For anyone seeking the truth, please check out the scribd website that is listed on my channel.

@NathanManga It was in the Tao Te Ching that I found the "negative phrasing" of Tao. Just wished to clarify. Good day, peace and be well!

@NathanManga while I agree with your comment, many people do not have the time or the will to learn a whole new language right now.
