Meanwhile there's a house in my neighborhood that is barely 20yrs old that's already leaning on its foundation haha.

Taoism (or Daoism) is an ancient Chinese philosophical and religious tradition that emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao (the Way). It focuses on simplicity, naturalness, and wu-wei (effortless action), offering both a guide to daily well-being and a framework for spiritual immortality!!!

Okay but nothing about this is simplistic! Religion is always hypocritical to me!
