WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Daoism taught that people gained happiness and peace by living in harmony, or agreement, with the way of nature. To the Daoists, nature is full of opposites, like life and death or light and darkness. True harmony comes from balancing the opposite forces of nature called yin and yang.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Daoist community believes that nature, not people, ultimately controls how things change. Therefore, humans and their rules are less important. They also see the Confucianist emphasis on culture and civilized society as unnecessary and rather unnatural.

Detailed explanation-3: -Harmony with nature In Daoism, everything is composed of two opposite forces known as Yin and Yang. The two forces are in constant struggle within everything. When they reach harmony, the energy of life is created. Someone who understands this point will not exploit nature, but will treat it well and learn from it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dao represents nature and natural wisdom, inherent good humanity. The Daodejing believes that humans are born as naturally good without the diversity of good or evil in morality. Their condition is pre-moral. It is similar and different from Mencius’ theory that human nature is basically good.
