Taoism

1. Question: The Taoist way of a healthy life, the exercises which are similar to yoga, for instance, doesn't seem to be a valid way of growing or reaching perfection. It may be because I am only reading this book, not experiencing this first-hand, but the exercises many people do today seem to be merely another form of well-being.

2. Suggestion: The Taoist yoga is what I think is the best way to apply the objectives of Taoism into real life: it is easy for everyone to do. Yet for this to be of any help, the yoga must be reconstructed and directed properly, because I believe much of the old lore has been lost.

3. Comment: The philosophical ideals of Taoism seem to be too abstract. Christians, for instance, learn to love everyone; Confucianists memorize analects; yet the philosophical part of Taoism doesn't seem simple enough for many people to understand.
