The Tao is like a well. used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: Filled with infinite possibilities.

Taoism is now as relevant as ever, even though it is centuries old. What interests me is what Taoism is or can be in modern times: how can it help a generation that is always reaching for more? A generation that blindly trusts science and numbers, while they should be asking a great number of ethical questions about how we are treating our surroundings (ourselves included), instead of focusing mainly on economic welfare or power. I am not a Taoist and I don’t pretend to be one either. However, I think taoism can help us reflect on our current society and raise exactly those ethical questions that should be asked right now. This may sound quite complex, but it isn’t. On the contrary, in all its simplicity, taoism gives answers to complex matters. Not in a religious way, not even in a philosophical way as how we’ve come to know it in the West, but as a way of living. “It’s a lifestyle, honey.”
