This was a great introduction to Taoism. I'm impressed at how easily I understood the concepts. It also made Pooh make more sense, haha. I never really liked Winnie the Pooh stories as they always felt nonsensical and surreal. They improve when treated as a fable. A lot of Taoist and Buddhist humor is that sort of joke--childlike wordplay, rhymes and riddles.

In the introduction it mentioned the painting The Vinegar Eaters, commenting on the contrast between the the three figures who represent Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. I can see how Confucianism stands apart as unique from the other two, but I would like to learn where Buddhism and Taoism differ in their philosophies of daily living. I don't really see a difference right now.
