  1. I partly agree. But only if you're already happy while pursuing goals. I think it's a big problem with people inspired by Buddhism that they discount working towards concrete improvements in the world in favour of being ok in the moment. On the one hand it's possible to experience pure bliss before anything good happens, on the other hand, you should want to change the world to make more good things happen for more people.

  2. Do you think that's a bad circumstance? If yes, then you're already indentical with the negation of it. You're already that part of the cosmos that effects positive change.

  3. I don't really see it. The will is bad, the Dao is good and you should flow with it. It's way more like Buddhism: there's desire and aversion locking you into samsara.

  4. No, everything is a potato to a certain degree. And the boundaries of each "thing" are fuzzy.
