Dao is not Nature. Nature has shapes and forms, and is ever changing. Nature has its beginning and its end. Dao is metaphysical, unobservable, and unknowable by humans. Dao is the Alpha and the Omega of heaven and earth, and everything in between. Dao is eternal, unchanging, and Dao is everywhere, in animals, in plants, in bricks, in poops and pees. Our universe will end one day, but Dao will never end. Big difference.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@davejones9469 Nature has no beginning or end ? You need to explain that to those scientists who believed in big bang. But if something changes, it logically has a beginning and an end. Dao does not change, and therefore it is eternal, no beginning and no end.
If you are talking about other universes, previous universes, and black holes, well, those are not Nature, are they ? If they are not physical but metaphysical, they are unobservable and unknowable by humans.
Jesus is a human. So, he would not know or understand those things, and he never pretended that he did.
All that about beginning and end of Nature is not that important for no human would witness them anyways. What is important though is that what is natural is inevitable, unstoppable, unavoidable, and unalterable.
It is therefore futile to try to be good, to be right, or to be virtuous. There is no good without evil, no right without wrong, and no virtue without vice. They are all parts of the One and the same Dao. They are inseparable, interrelated, intertwined, interdependent, and necessary parts of the whole. It's Yin Yang in Chinese.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@davejones9469 O.K. I can accept that the black holes, the pararell universes and all are parts of the universe. But, as long as something changes, like you have insisted, that something must have a beginning and an end. It's that simple.
Unless. I'm giving you a way out here. Unless that something is metaphysical, unobservable, and unknowable to humans, like God. In that case, there is no more argument because we can't argue over something we don't know, can we ?
Dao is like that. We believe Dao exist because we believe we exist, heaven and earth exist, and everything in between exist. According to the law of cause and effect, everything that exist is caused to exist, and we call this cause Dao.
You can call it God if you like, but this cannot be a personal God with desires and an unstable personality. That personal God is nothing but a superstition.
I'll add another eye opening observation for your information : what we observe is not real, what is real we cannot observe. For example, we can observe an apple, but we cannot observe the elements, the DNA, or the life in that object which made the object a real apple and not just an image of an apple. So never mind an image of a black hole, or an image of gravity, which is nothing more than a two dimensional snap shot, not even a three dimensional representation. They are not real. What is real is what is in them to make them real, which we humans cannot observe. We call that Dao.
道可道,非常道
If you can describe it, it is not real Dao.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@davejones9469 Exactly. You used to think the earth was the center of the universe. We didn't. 5,000 years ago, in the book of transformation, the I-Ching, the beginning of our universe had already been outlined clearly. First, there is the no limit, no shape and no form, the Dao. Then the Dao is transformed into everything, The process of transformation continues by way of Yin Yang, and so on, and so on.
Expressed mathematically by Lao Tzu some 3,000 years later was : from 0 comes 1, Yin Yang; 0 and 1 makes 2; 0,1, and 2 makes 3; 3 makes heaven and earth and everything in between. Any computer student understands this fact.
Back to the question of what is reality, the lesson I taught you last time that what we observe is not real, what is real we humans cannot observe. When you read these words, you are observing the black and white letters. But any computer student can tell you those are just 0's and 1's, which you don't get to observe, and even if you do, you wouldn't understand. No computer expert can understand how a computer is brought about, the hardware, the software, the marketing, financing, labor management, ..... that naturally and inevitable put the computer in place for you to observe. It just happened. What happens must happen. It is unstoppable, unavoidable, unalterable. You can only accept it and learn how to love it. Like Jesus taught us : Love God. That is the one and only commandment Jesus gave us.
So you think you know shit ? Let me ask you : What gravity is ? Not what is gravity because anyone can have a different definition. But what gravity is, or what God is ? You see ? No one knows. No human can see gravity, smell gravity, touch gravity, taste gravity, or hear gravity. But we all believe gravity exist. By the same way, we believe Dao exist.
Who is a hippy here ? You ? Not me ? Lao Tzu was not a hippy. Hippies thought Daoism is a passive, negative, and pessimistic way of life. They are wrong. Daoism is about living actively, positively, and optimistically. Those who understood Dao live and enjoy every moment of their lives, worry free. They would understand that behind any danger is some blessing awaiting, and in every blessing is a time for caution. Daoist doesn't let go. Daoist let be. Daoist doesn't flow. Daoist strive by utilizing the inevitable.
You said bye. That means you are ready to give up. A Daoist understands that most if not all failures are people giving up too soon. The strength of water is in its persistency, and never give up. That is how water can cut through mountains and the toughest rocks. So, my advice to you is : enjoy and never give up.
Many have tried to kill Jesus, and many have tried to kill God. They all failed because they gave up. You may be the first one in human history to succeed if you don't give up. May be is not inevitable though. It is wishful thinking, see ?
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@parasamesar1925 This video was made by people who don't understand Chinese. Take the COVID-19 pandemic as an example, did the world let go and laid flat? Yes. Did China let go? No. That is why China has less than 5,000 deaths and is still persistently insisting on zero tolerance. USA has over a million deaths, with one quarter of the population of China. See the difference and why?
Lao Tzu said the highest virtue is like water. Have you ever seen water let go and go with the flow of others? No. Water is always focused, insistent, persistent, and create its own flow. That's the virtue of water. Letting be is not letting go. Letting be is allowing all concerns to survive without having to surrender, fail, or be defeated. Have you seen water not letting be? Never.
With marriages, if one would let be and not let go, the marriage and the love will survive. Even when the marriage must be broken up, the love would still survive, and there should not be any remorse, guilt, or pain for as long as there is love.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

Daoism is not a pessimistic, lay back, and passive approach to life. It is active, aggressive, and optimistic. Dao is the Alpha and the Omega of heaven, earth, and everything in between. Dao is everywhere. It is in animals, in plants, in bricks, and in poops and pees. Dao is not empty or void but is full and beautiful. Those in Dao enjoy life fully every minute and every second of their life, actively, aggressively, and optimistically. They understand behind every danger is a blessing waiting, and behind every blessing is a time to be cautious. Love those who are not loving. Trust those who are not trustworthy. Whenever able, give evil a chance to correct itself. What is natural is inevitable, and needs no extra effort. Let be and never let go.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@andyfox6943 Exactly. Happiness is subjective. When my ex is happy, I am happy, because I love her. Very much. Of course, one can only love others when one loved oneself first. If you are happy when she is miserable, or if you are not happy when she is happy, then you don't love her. It is a very subjective thing. It's that simple.
We, all things, are born from God. Jesus is no exception. Jesus is a man. Jesus lived and died 2,000 years ago, crucified by his own Jewish folks for blasphemy he never committed. But Jesus is alive today, in spirit, which is in his teachings recorded in history books called the Gospels. Jesus told us to love God. Do you love God ?
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@ally5524 That is being silly. When you love someone, that someone is always in your mind and your best wishes, may it be your parents, your kids, or your wife. Love needs not be ended. If you don't love someone, staying together makes no sense. That applies not only with wives, but also with parents, kids, friends, or business partners. The point is when two people love one another, they want the best for one another. Sometimes, one partner may want to leave and find a different partner in order to be truly happy, then, not staying together is a good choice. Do not confuse your love with your obligations, your vow, or your perceived social status.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

@rizkunisnator OMG !!! Another one. Has anyone noticed these cry babies are all man ? No woman would be so silly. Why ? First, it is because of birth control giving women an unfair advantage over their men. Second, equal pay allows women to make more than men giving bosses who can afford to pay more pay it towards women and have the moral high ground as well as having more women under their control. Third, technological advancement making labour work worth less than make ups, hairdos, and soft voices. Fourth, the legal system rewards the women and punishes the men in a break up, with or without children involved.
So, since women have more fantasies and vain, they are now capable of choosing, manipulating, and replacing their men at their pleasure, and feel good, right, and successful with each one of them. Finally, women are much more capable in handling pain, suppressing pain, or diverting or redirecting pain than men. No woman would accept being seen as a cry baby because that hurts their ego. They would rather cheat, blame the men, or punish them regardless. That's just being natural. Both men and women enjoy varieties. See ?
The logical advice for these cry baby men is go tryout some varieties. Pay if you have to, which is the case for most men. That helps to forgive and forget. Above all, take care of yourself, and love God.
May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.
