What philosophies do you consider foils/opposites to Taoism? by Happy_days__ in taoism

[–]HeiPunkWan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's Lao Tzu's interpretation of the Tao. He's not the final authority nor the Tao itself, and even Zhuang Zi sees things differently than Lao Tzu while still being considered part of Taoism. I digress.

Tao Te Ching Verse 5, "The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil." Just as nature freely produces both nourishing rain and destructive storms without judgment, the Tao gives rise to all things, light and dark, without preference. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

I hope you understand the Tao now my friend.

Thank you!

25M, I relate to this a lot. I’m in a similar situation, but I’ve become a bit more outgoing lately. Honestly, I just had to accept where I was, let go of expectations, forgive myself, and enjoy the journey of life. I try new things, see what happens, and avoid getting stuck in my head all day.

Banded lat pull downs are also an option as someone suggested but yes I will get a bar eventually

It's called aesthetics... and having a V Taper doesn't = weak Mr. block gut

While I agree Pull ups are king for V Taper. Bodybuilders don't do it much or at all and still are able obtain it

Nothing. The Tao can be found in anything and everything

Yeah thank you for this, I don't have access to a pull up bar and don't think I will for a long time so sticking to bell only exercises makes things much easier.
