Can TAO help your depression?
TAO is neither a religion nor a philosophy.
TAO is simply a way of life about the Way of
life, that is, a general way of thinking
about everything in life. It is a pathless path of humanity to live as if
everything is a miracle.
TAO is the Way through anything and everything in life in order to fully
experience them and live in balance and harmony. TAO is not about avoiding or
getting out of anything unhappy and undesirable in everyday life, such as
depression; rather, it is about going through
depression by experiencing every aspect of it in order to become enlightened, if possible, with the
profound human wisdom to continue living in peace and harmony in a world of
depression.
TAO is looking at life not as a series of both
happy and unhappy episodes, but simply as a journey of self-discovery and
self-awakening to the real meaning of life existence. You are defined not by
your words and thoughts, but by the ways you act and react, as well as the
impact you may have on others around you. You exist not because you are simply
here; you are here in this world to love and to learn how to live, as well as
to help one another do the same.
TAO is formless, shapeless, and inexplicable in
words; after all, it had existed long before there were even words. TAO is
infinite human wisdom, which is a pathless path to the infinity and the origin
of all things.
TAO is not about making your life any easier; it is about
acceptance of all aspects of your humanity that need to be fully experienced,
embraced, and then to be let go of in order to become wholesome at other times
of your life and living—that is the
essence of TAO wisdom, which is true enlightenment of the human mind.
Living in a world of depression, you might want every-thing
your way or no way. But TAO is the
Way through your depression, enabling
you to understand how and why you might have your depression in
the first place.
