When we had started to learn about Taoism I was a little bit skeptical because again, we are learning about a new religion/belief. But what I didn't know and maybe a few others didn't know as well is that everyday of our life we go through a little of Taoism. For instance when I'm at home with my parents I do what I choose to do, but I can't do anything or everything I want to do there is a balance of discipline and respect on both sides. My parents give me respect and discipline by letting me do what I want to do and I show the same by not breaking or destroying the house. Taoism is basically the balance by two forces that, if one is more powerful than the other than everything is going to be off balanced. Another example of this is when its sunny outside, if it were always sunny then everything would dry up and rain. On the other hand it rains to much than it would flood everything and having the same results as being too hot, everything would die. I guess for the people that don't believe in Taoism they live in a Taoist world because of all the comparing and contrasting or balance of power.
