Nice to see how the old-guard of fake leftist taoists has long-since bitten the dust. But you're still sort-of going. What can this mean? Not fake? Not leftist? Not all ego? Maybe just more well-intentioned than most?
I visited you; why not visit me? www.crowfeather.net
Ah, Crow. Welcome back. And I have visited you. I'll check in again and read more later.
In the meantime, that's an interesting list of labels you string together: old guard, fake, leftist, taoist. Labels are handy, up to a point. But as I trust you and I both know, we are all so much more than labels.
Thanks for checking in. Best wishes from this old-guard, fake leftist, ego-saturated, well-intentioned meanderer of the Way.
Well, labels, you know, were once known as adjectives, before leftists decreed that describing anything was whatever-ist. And every so-called 'taoist' I've ever run into, has been permanently skewed to the left, and consequently, seriously unbalanced.
The genuine taoist, of course, doesn't play such games, and delude himself over what is nice/not-nice. He is, generally balanced, which is the reason a taoist would decide to be a taoist in the first place.
Indeed. It describes an interesting taoist, as opposed to the other kind, who does nothing but become offended at inoffensive things. Sorry I intruded. I'm done now.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Being a human is no easy thing, is it?
"Genuine taoist." Another interesting label.
