I already know what is wrong. What we need is information on how to fix it. Any fool can criticize.

A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

this teaches you how to fix it. along with the i-ching. you are contradicting yourself by criticizing me. this is hypocritical. this is why i avoided this site for so long. too many egotistical people who think they are not egotistical.

Why do you think I am criticizing you? I believe that my statement was merely an observation of what you said.

The way you perceive others is merely a reflection of what you accept and refuse to accept about yourself. It all comes down to how you choose to perceive people.

yeah, you should check out some alan Watts whilte you're at it too
changing the world is pretty difficult. if anything, I'd say grass-roots efforts are the best chance.

Wanting to "change the world" IS the root of our problems, because it's when one tries to imprint his view on the world on others. This will never work in my opinion. I strongly advocate for each to follow their own path and learn with their abilities and according to their rhythm.

That's why i don't recommend self-help books to others. It is best each find his own way.

Did I miss something? What is the philosophical point you wish to discuss? Are we to chew over the reasons you rarely frequent this forum?

I think they want to complain about how unenlightened everyone is due to rampant egoism, and tell them that if they read this book on taoism it will "fix" them. As for myself I wasn't aware I was broken.

Realizing you are in a state of brokenosity enables you to start the road to fixation.

Maybe I am broken, but I didn't realize it. Perhaps I was blinded by my unconditional acceptance of self.

Word up, I'm reading the book as well.
I intuited some of the stuff which confirms this is definitely the correct path for me. I'm really glad I found this book. Much practical advice that is highly useful to achieve my goals.
seriously you mofos go download it(or buy it if you're into that kinda thing). the stuff he talks about is pretty easy to see how it directly applies to your life
