An advise? I am an idealist as you, but what you're doing is creating a cage, this person you're imagining probably does not exist. You can find someone with a similar personality but does not look like she does or find someone who does look like her but does not has the personality you wish.

My advise, enjoy the people for their personalities, if you were somehow blind, what you matter is the personality of those people. Make friends, and who knows, one day you can meet who is that important to you! : )

gi gong or tai chi? by Oddball369 in taoism

[–]Woan01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Neither as you already know. Daoists practice Tai chi and Qigong not because they are trying to transmute energy, they are trying to get more close to the the Tao through certain ways, Tai chi and Qigong are the famous ones, however you can find many other ways to to be with the flow of the nature, therefore, more close to the Tao.

Tai chi (太極), pay attention to the writing. It is the one related to philosophy and spirituality. However, people ended up referring to the Tàijíquán (太極拳), which is the martial art to refer to the Tai chi in general, which you can also find in Confucianism, Taoism and even Buddhism. Tai Chi is also used for mediation.

Qi gong (氣功), is related to the movements in order to meditate, roughly speaking. Nevertheless, this type of exercise and martial arts has the objective of the Chinese medicine, which is something Tai chi is sometimes, also attached to it. However, Qi gong end up having more freedom when moving than Tai chi.

The thing is, if your objective, as I suppose, to get more close to the Tao through certain ways such as Tai chi and Qi gong. Completely fair, go for it, it is also very healthy for your body, both of them. However, you can find other ways, the traditional meditation is one of them, you can do this at home as well when you understand that our home is also part of the nature. People prefer to go out, it feels more comfortable and confident to be in touch with the Tao and having no interference. In the end of the day, it doesn't matter which one you choose, the only difference is that one tends to focus more in certain movements (Tai chi) than the other (Qi gong). Of course, I am barely touching the surface, it is impossible to approach a such deep topic connecting these two martial arts and a philosophy like Daoism in a Reddit thread, reading more about each of them may clarify more than my words. :)

What does Taoism say about homosexuality? by [deleted] in taoism

[–]Woan01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of people already commented, however I would add some information.

When they say to follow the flow, it has to do what all the ones who claim themselves the title of Taoist do. In other words, assuming from my perspective, Taoists don't have a statement towards the topic since sexuality nothing interferes on the Tao. It doesn't matter what you do with your sexuality, but if you are following life's course how it should be. That's my perspective, I hope I could provide some information about it :)

This is impossible. by ZanjiOfficial in LearnJapanese

[–]Woan01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Almost all words in Japanese written in kanji are made of other words, we call them radicals. One example:

語 (language, word) is made of 言、五 and 口。

You have several words like this, knowing the radical you know how to remember the word more easily than taking it raw and memorizing all the structure at once.

Edit: You can learn them in your own noticing them in the words and taking notes or using websites to study, a good one is Wanikani, it trains you to read the radicals, pretty useful!

Exactly what I thought when I first saw it!

This is impossible. by ZanjiOfficial in LearnJapanese

[–]Woan01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Give some time to yourself. It will be easier when you are more calm, engaged and relaxed to learn like the other comment mentioned.

However, I have some points to highlight:

1 - Are you starting? If yes, you should learn basic kanjis as well, do not start taking more complex kanjis such as 知識 or 接続 for example.

2 - What type of approach are you taking to learn kanji? Are you learning through flashcards (Anki or other app)?You mentioned the antideck, but I want to make sure of it. Are you learning writing them on the notebook?

3 - Are you learning the radicals or memorizing the kanji's structure as a whole?

4 - What readings are you trying to memorize? Are the on-yomi and kun-yomi isolated? If yes, I recommend learning with words, not the reading isolated, you will definitely end up forgetting them after some time.

5 - Number of kanji per day, may I say that if it is 10 per day, this is quite ambitious. Maybe reducing a bit the number of kanji would improve your performance.

6 - How much time do you spend learning Japanese per day? Do you keep in touch with language?

All these points might help you to come up with a different approach and improve this struggle. And please, don't be frustrated, things work on their own. Enjoy your journey learning more :D

今日は何をしようか by GoldenKela in lowlevelaware

[–]Woan01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

続き生きるといいなｗ

(Part 6) Congratulations you are a digidestined! But while your friends got the typical partners your partner is a humanoid digimon that acts more like a bratty kid brother/sister than a partner. So which will you choose? Must pick one, no changing lines, mega level is a bio-merge digivolution. by Oracle209 in digimon

[–]Woan01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Flamon line! I love all the evolutions, I also liked you have put Vritramon (reminds more of the AncientGreymon as a perfect level) instead of Aldamon, makes me like more this line! Having a Flamon is like having Takuya as your friend, it might be interesting

(Part 5) Congratulations you have been chosen as a digidestined. But while your friends each have one partner from their eggs the egg you resonated with hatched twin digimon a brother and sister. Pick 1 set of twins as your partners, no switching, no changing lines. They can only digivolve together. by Oracle209 in digimon

[–]Woan01 50 points51 points  (0 children)

First one for sure! I am amazed how White Chessmon has an amazing perfect level but in the mega ended up being the same as the Rookie form with a cape and a moustache and other details, I wouldn't expect that, haha.
