  1. Taoism relates to everything at all times, for it is through the Tao that all things are related.  

    Taoism in many ways is not a "religion" as many people classify it, but rather a conscious choice as to how to view the world so as to attain the most complete and enjoyable experience from our lives.  

    Taoists are often quoted in similar conversations to this one:

    A Taoist basketball player is shootig  at a public park, and a person who walks by every day and sees this finally stops to ask, "Why are you always shooting baskets?"  to which the Taoist replies "I like shooting baskets."  

    "But why not get involved in a league, or try to make money playing for a team, or anything?!  You're just wasting your time shooting by yourself."  

    At which point the Taoist replies "I am not interested in those things, I like shooting."  and if he is bothered further, he would simply slap the arrogant questioner.

    Taoism is about comfort, satisfaction, enjoyment, and presence in the moment.  It applies to everyday life in every possible way!
