The ideas of the Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) have been widely translated into English. Some might recall the delightful children's version of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet. Consider this saying: "The best man is like water. Water is good; it benefits all things and does not compete with them. It dwells in places that all disdain...The best man in his dwelling loves the earth..." What does this mean to you? Do you agree with this philosophy? Can you see any connection between Taoism and the environmental movement? Elaborate.
