Taoists focus on living a simple and balanced life. The ancient Taoist sages rejected societal rules that forced people to live in ways they saw as unnatural. Contrary to the majority, they didn’t see the appeal of chasing wealth and status, and cared little for other people’s opinions. Rather than becoming kings, they chose to fish in quiet mountain streams, away from the masses.
Ancient Taoist texts offer a wealth of invaluable wisdom, such as ‘wu wei’ (effortless action), the power of softness, and acceptance. Many of the ideas in these texts are so radically different from Western thought that once we understand them, we may see the world in a completely different light.
