    Taoism and Stoicism helped me deal with my social anxiety and depression. the book of proverbs and Ecclesiastes in the Bible helped me too.

      The original business model of UA-cam was annoying, but at least the ads were reasonable.
      New flood of invasive, repetitive, and offensive ads are EVIL.
      Google is now fully dedicated to doing any evil that seems profitable.
      And censoring complaints, too.

    Lao Tzu's wisdom from Taoism offers profound insights on staying calm amidst life's challenges. Embracing simplicity, practicing mindfulness, and allowing the natural flow of events through non-action are essential tenets. In today's fast-paced world, these teachings resonate, guiding us toward inner peace and fulfillment.

    We are born already perfect and complete. That's how it was meant by nature. And it's interesting how we add so many layers to ourselves over time that we don't feel like ourselves anymore. And then the greatest challenge is to unlearn and get rid of all the layers and just be the way we were born - wholesome and complete.

    The root cause of all people's troubles is self-absorption, and the first thing to eliminate them is charity.
    Giving is the root cause of poverty change and the driving force to get out of difficulties.
    Faith is the source of the Tao and the mother of virtue, and fosters all good roots.

      I agreed, but not sure it s related to the teaching of Tao te Ching🤔 do not do thing for the purpose of making yourself feel good, it’s too superficial and too intentional, that s why wu wei, you re kind because it’s your nature not because you follow doctrine and to be seen as a good person…

    I agree 99% of this video apart from change , yes change is essential, to move forward, but your heart is the strongest power a human can no , and when this breaks, it breaks !!! Then it's almost impossible to move on or forget , unless your emotions or none existent, I had a broken heart I still love her now after 30 years , I daught this wil ever change, my nan died 6 years ago another broken heart , basically what I'm trying to tell you is , we are humans but with very very deep and powerful heart , and this my friend will always be !

      Everybody gets broken hearts. But we learn from it, learn to accept it as it unfolded. Staying in the past doesn’t help. I am sure she is not whining about you. You have your life to lead without regret. You don’t want this thought of regret o your death bed as it will bring you back into this life time with the same regret. Wd past life regression help you. Good luck 🤞

      It was the time before Tao was a religion and when Zen found fertile ground. It was the most beautiful place I ever saw.
      I was an old man and I needed a cane to walk. This was the origin of the soul that is another man today. But still, that soul.

      The fact is, there's a great deal that's beyond the control of human beings. And (perhaps as a way of coping with it) a great many human beings are in denial about that fact.
      And I don't feel that I've taken anything to an absurd extreme. Instead, I feel that my very existence demonstrates an absurd extreme.
