Governments are the reason for strife and upheaval in society and as a result, pacifism is practices by Taoists. The life of a child is ideal in the minds of the Taoists. Children do nothing but live and in return receive care, food, and clothing. Pomp and glory are to be despised. As stated above, the Taoists are intent on living a peaceful life away from the overvalued spotlight.
Pride is evil and comes with attaining pomp and glory.
It is much more favorable in the Taoist religion to be humble and modest. A main belief in Taoism is to focus on the now. Do not look elsewhere for answers because they are right here, firmly rooted in the now. Do not impose order on life, rather let life live you and be fixated by what is happening now. Surrender the will to the Tao and it will lead the way.
