I'm just beginning in Taoism...many things appeal to me so far...

  1) Letting the natural order run it's course
  2) Accepting environment rather than controlling it
  3) Showing the same face to all (being myself without pretense)
  4) Striving for simplicity rather than complication

I was taught in traditional Western Catholicism and have reached
a point where the concepts are unacceptable for me...I don't doubt 
a power greater than myself but I choose not to believe in a malicious, 
punishing one.  Taoism appears to offer me an alternative...

I'd enjoy seeing further viewpoints of Taoism...
