"The most impressive thing about the book is it's writing style. The philosophical views expressed in my opinion have as much valuable content as poorly argued or problematic content.
An ideal Daoist sage would face natural death and loss of loved one with no emotional turmoil.
But seemingly, would use none of this strength to challenge oppression or do good for those around them." — Apr 15, 2026 03:31PM

“The heart itself is but a small vessel, yet there also are dragons and there are lions; there are poisonous beasts and all the treasures of evil. And there are rough and uneven roads; there are precipices. But there is also God, also the angels, the life and the kingdom, the light and the Apostles, the treasures of grace---there are all things.”
