    Gentle- Man Living a simple and plain life is ideal, although being rich and having materialistic possessions doesn’t necessesarily contradict the way of the tao. You can simply play the game of life without mixing your identification with the materialistic succession. This is obviously not the case in today’s society.

    4. For me i can strive, but not too attach to it. Moving or flowing through what you want (prefer) is good. Just like people who meditate aka wants to go towards something. I think the problem is attachment aka binary yes or no. Examples if you, want to run marathon but fall short. Is not a problem. How you attach or view the attainment of outcome is the problem. The journey and task you take to run marathon can be blissful and flowing if you dont exert force or push yourself reluctantly.

    Another example. I want a good job. Well you can still flow or we wui or take path of least resistance in pursuit of it. You do what is necessary to get there, when you tired, you stop, you not forcing to work when you tired. Let's say you dont get the job you want. It is not a problem if you not too attach too it... I will say striving is not bad. It is the attachment to striving that is bad. Strive aka go towards what you want sometimes, but not too hard. If you dont get it. No big deal.

    People keep bugging me why I don't get my drivers licence. Well, I don't need it, don't need a car, don't need the payments, don't want to drive people around, don't want to be frustrated with other drivers, bad roads, tickets and pigeon shitstains. They asked me and it was a half a decade ago, why I don't have a mobile phone (I have now as living without it is more troubles nowadays). I didn't want it, because I enjoyed my time without being harrassed with phonecalls and messages. Before you assume I'm an eccentric old guy, I'm not. I haven't had a mobile from age 16 to 22. I'm 27 now and life is very good.

    Dont want is the a form of 'want'. You dont want drivers license because you want to have peace of mind. People who say the arent striving is actually striving. Or i will callled it wants. They still have wants or desire. Yours is desire to have peace of minds aka not having to deal with driving and drivers. Read courage to be disliked by alfred adler. We all working towards something whether we realize or not. We are not driven by past we are driven by future.

    "uselessness can be very useful" This is quite true. If everything thinks you're useful, they will come to you by default and they will think you will solve everything. When you cannot meet their ever-growing expectations, then they become disappointed. This is the same in sales. You underpromise and overdeliver. Do this, and you will gain clients. Do the reverse, you will lose clients.

Life orders by rules but rules don't apply to those who follow the Tao by virtue of them who follow already yield in the nature give in their own words thoughts actions, bypass effort and doing by being, it's a change in perspective on how we see independently things to happen and not any complicated principle but plainly laid to plebeians, all we, so no need to burn out themselves later.

A part of me saw the beauty in being seen as the “useless” scapegoat, because I pioneered my interest in creativity and science: writing, designing, forensics/mortuary science, reading, drawing and editing. All are which I find myself always gravitating towards. As I grew up, many began to exploit this because I was now “exceptional” after receiving rewards and whatnot from the work and effort I’ve put in. I’ve learned that for most who rush in life, they silence their inner voice and expect others to do the same. Ive learned to listen to mines and ignore judgement which doesn’t provide much benefit

    life today is driven by materialism which drives consumerism which drives capitalism..then we become consumed by our own materialism. Slaves to desire and affluence and slaves to the debts we incur to achieve more acquisitions to satisfy our appetite for material wealth. Whole industries are built on satisfying our insatiable urges as well as satisfying our need to recover from the stresses brought on by our drive to satisfy our insatiable urges and desires. In the end , what do we have to show for this...a fat bank account ? poor health ? lazy and ungrateful children ? Where's the true wealth in a life lived to acquire those things ?

    Every day I agree more and more with principles, teachings or however you wish to call them, pertaining to the Taoism, Buddhism and Stoicism; I can look back an acknowledge many, many points in my life in which I was grasping for mere illusions. The result? I got frustrated, I got anxious, I got depressed, I got angry, I was these and many other things except one: happy. Because I was striving to belong somewhere I didn't, and now I laugh at my puerile desires of being noticed, of being on the spotlight, of yearning things that I was "supposed to strive for". But now I can acknowledge it as a teaching from the Universe. If I hadn't gone through that, I wouldn't recognize in this moment that I don't want that anymore. Not out of resentment or spite. Simply because I don't wish it, because I've experienced feeling whole by myself, by my own means, by what one may call _useless_ things, indeed. Thank you for this and many other of your amazing videos.

Watching your vid on "How to be alone" really made me reconsider a lot of the notions I was laying against myself, and this video did a great job reaffirming many of the Taoist principles I've been falling into lately in a very natural and charming way. Keep up the great work and don't stand on your tip toes, that's a sub from me.

    This is amazing in its capacity to heal slowly as it may. Taoism is a state and it is - at least to me - more abstract than religious teachings which impose more concretized ideologies. And yet, Taoism strikes a chord with people because it resonates deep into the human subconscious. I am all for it.

    I was born in the fifties in the US. The culture than according to my parents was that idleness and laziness was a sin. They did not tolerate any kind of daydreaming or just doing nothing.
