Actually, I think following the Tao has more to do with being true, i.e.
being who you are, which also naturally meshes with where nature is heading.
Similar to other religions that tell you that if you follow certain
precepts, you will be "purer" and therefore will be closer to heaven, God,
whatever. Otherwise you are living in sin, which actually means "off the
mark", like an arrow that misses its target.
Asking why is good if it brings back to your self, but if you are asking why
and speculating ad nauseam you are off on a tangent. Like that inner
chatter we sometimes hear in our heads.
That instructor was Austrian, by the way, about fifty to fifty-five years
old when I took that course, which was over ten years ago. So perhaps he
went through WW2 when he was a child, who knows. I am also biased, being
son of two psychologists, I don't like social workers all that much
precisely because they don't like to take societal context into account.
Mind you a lot of psychologists and psychiatrists do the same thing, ignore
the context and just try to make the better "better adjusted" - ha ha

Isn't that sort of like Taoism? Accept your lot, there must be good
in it
somewhere...
Also, it seems to be the basis of many major religions to
essentially never
ask why. So, I guess it's a pretty popular philosophy.
(Oh no, I feel a discourse by Eric coming on...)

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
This person was actually allowed to teach. Never ask why, yes
that's a
super philosophy on life.

That's a laugh, I went to a continuing education seminar once at
Carleton
University, in Ottawa.
The seminar was called Effective Living.
The teacher was a social worker, and he emphatically told everyone
NEVER to
ask why, just adapt to life and keep moving...
I had unreconcilable disagreements with him, I guess I don't know
how to
live.
