My first initial response to Daoim was that this religion is really int resting because rather than focusing on practices that fulfill the requirement ts of praying a God, it is simply about oneself and their existence in society. Daoism allows one to focus on thinking freely and connecting with the inner-self and pleasing thy self instead of pleasing the conventional forms within society. According to the novel “Daoism say that we become fully human by becoming natural” (Prithee, 289), and “that the highest value is life, so the highest practice is that art of nurturing life. Daoism is more about rediscovering one’s own nature by being surrounded by it, unlike other religions, sacred places are not in churches and mosque, but rather losing yourself in the mountains and the valley. However similar to religions Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, Daoism coincides with Buddhism, and Confucianism but these religions work together under the Chinese “Three Teachings” to learn how to become fully human through education, ethics, and rituals. Through the values of Confucius, it is said that this is why the Chinese have become very economically and politically prosperous. These religions focus more on individually transformation spiritually and socially.
