We name and categorise things, creating "movements" "-isms" and archetypes. Then by ones behaviour one is automatically pigeon-holed into one of these categories.Have a read of the Tao Te Ching, I think it deals with what you conveyed in your post. I won'ttry to explain the Tao in my own words, because I don't think I understand it well enough, besides "The Tao that can be spoken of is not the constant Tao"

Seems like an interesting thread, I'll read all posts as soon as I have the time. The only reason why I'm posting right now is because I need to give Astroboy my thumbs up for...

You do make some very good points and I agree with most of them. It does seem that some (if not most) people have this "alter-ego" when online. I try to stay as true to myself as possible when on the forums. I'm normally shy at first when meeting new people so I guess that's why I have not said that much. Just trying to get to know the people here... not just the screen names. I hope that the people I do get to know here will be the same online as they are in person.

As far as the black & white existance, I prefer the gray area. I also think many of us here live in the gray area too.

Yeah but then you'll be "one of those sarcastic types who takes the piss out of everyone".

Hey Maaz, Have you read much Taoist literature?

Here are some other good ones:

"He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened."

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders."

Yeah, I've got a nice book here but it's in Chinese with Spanish subtitles (I don't know how to explain it, but I guess you got the idea), and I can only read it with a good dictionary by my side, so I haven't read the whole thing yet due to lack of time - hopefully I'll read it all soon I knew the first one already, but not the second, thanks

He who pursues learning will increase every day;
He who pursues Tao will decrease every day.

Didnt have time to read the entire thread, but diginut stop crying you're going to rust your self all up you big loveable bag of bolts.

*hands him a can of WD-40

ppl or topics are often described in black or white to simplify the complex world we live in. We are more complicated inside, you just need to follow your inner convictions (your heart) and you'll be ok. Dont worry about what everyone will think, your true friends will understand and the rest will move on. Now go out there and be the best robot you can be.

Re: the Tao, I've never read it, but it does look interesting, considering picking up a translation.
