Taoism

I think that "The Tao of Pooh" really cleared things up for me. Today i had the chance to reflect on alot of things and i discovered stress is inevitable. As we go about our daily lives we will experience death, crime, economy failures, and wars etc. I think that a world without stress is impossible. Toaism talks about a peaceful world and a balance of life. At the fall of man when Adam failed to resist the devil and warn Eve of the danger we lost that right to a stress free life. God said that man would have to work to provide for his family. God knew it would be alot of labor and stress. Every day i see my dad come home stressed out about being able to continue to provide for school, food, a house, sports, car repairs, and so many others. I see people's family's torn apart because of cancer, drunk drivers, babies not getting a chance to live their lives, and crime. We dont live in the "Hundred Acre Woods". I think its time for people to wake up and realize that. We go throughout our lives seeing people die and think "Oh well at least its not us". It drives me absolutly insane when i see news crews sit there and say things about how their was a three person shooting in seattle. They show absolutly no emotion. Life is going to be stressful, life is going to be laborsome. I think that once we understand that we will be able to show love to others in times of need. Lastly, I feel that stress being a part of life is what will make eternity with Christ all the better. We will live in a world without pain, suffering, or stress. SO my conclusion on Taoism is that it is imposible. Life cannot be perfectly balanced or stress free. One day it will be but that day is not this day while we live on earth.
