Taoism might explain why the Chinese people are so unpredictable.
They just lead by example.
They don’t have to think, it is laid out for them to follow.
There is a phrase I have heard, "Too clever by half"
Even for individuals and themselves, I think this can be true.
Clever people sometimes look for shortcuts, and by this are sometimes troubled later in life.
Not that being clever is 'bad in my view,
But if one is 'always being clever, working on shortcuts and work arounds, then fundamentals don't get built up.
Necessary skills.
Necessary infrastructure, a problem keeps being avoided because it is easy, until the problem 'can't be avoided anymore, and is later perhaps 'too difficult to fix.
When it 'could have been relatively easy to fix, if one 'had addressed it, and not been clever in working around and avoiding it.
But I dislike the idea of not thinking.
Philosophy 'is thinking to my mind.
Sure, some situations it can be advantageous to let go of the situation.
. . It 'depends, some face punches can be let go of, others need to be remembered and addressed to prevent future face punches.
I 'think, therefore I am.
Evil, Good, either way, by thinking I 'exist.
Though I prefer to focus on the Good.
If I 'don't think, then Good does not exist.
The tree falling in the forest 'requires an observer.
Useful tips to improve one’s life.
I can be without thoughts when I am dead,
Until then I am here.
There is nothing 'but the here for me.
I'm an Atheist and a Materialist,
I view this as my one moment of existence, I should like to enjoy it.
It's nice to meditate and sleep sometimes, doze off and stare blank,
But it's also nice to have goals and desires,
Feels good.
Motivates me to move, and take steps to continue to exist.
If one is 'nothing, then they don't have any Good either.
Low desire could indicate low testosterone level.
To me it seems better to desire a well designed city, that does not catch fire.
One 'could accept many fires and deaths, and not feel improved any by a safer city.
But, I do not think such would match my values.
Taoist ones are well versed in Kung Fu.
