The quest for fire.

Survival was original meaning. Heard recently that we have been so successful at it that we get to complain about how we do it now.

Checks out. The journey is always more fun than the destination.

I still don't know what Taoism is. I keep meaning to research it butt my naps take priority.

Feel free to attempt to re-educate me at your leisure. I love it when people TLDR their inner hopes and thots.

So I read a journey to the west-s Wikipedia page.

It's essentially Chinese LoTR

In conclusion, while both Taoism and Buddhism offer profound insights and pathways to inner peace and a more meaningful existence, their approaches to understanding the world, dealing with suffering, and achieving spiritual goals differ significantly. Taoism focuses on harmony with the natural flow of the universe, while Buddhism focuses on overcoming suffering through understanding its causes and following the Eightfold Path.

i haven't studied it that deep like the actual differences between Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism..etc

"Shaolin monks are primarily Buddhist, specifically followers of Chan Buddhism (also known as Zen Buddhism in Japan). However, their practice also incorporates elements of Taoism, particularly in the development of Shaolin Kung Fu and Qi Gong."

I've only thought deeply about to the extent of "kung fu cool" and Taoism is the origin of the animal styles Wu Qin Xi which i had to google because i forgot.

After reading the Taoism AI Overview I hope China wins! 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

I don't see what Buddhism has against Taoism? Taoism is like playing in the matrix with a few hacks. Buddhism is like fundamentally understanding the source code and being able to write the hacks. Butt not really needing too.
