Thank you for the favor of a reply, Nick the Pilot. Each nation state has, what they may believe, the answer to your query. So it is from the American perspective that I would speak, for from each their own. Yet this discussion may be better served were it debated in the Politics and Society...

Greetings, TheKhan. This appears to be more of a societal issue than it is one pertaining to a specific spiritual path. To my mind, what has been described is a notable shift in mindset from the preservation of a society as a whole towards the supremacy of individual. This shift in attitudes...

Grand. I will let you load up the 75lb alfalfa bales and 50 lb feedsacks, but only if you bring really good chocolate chip cookies. (I am easily bribed)

Having some Lapsong, a black tea with a smokey and resinous character, at the moment. I have a preference for the red wines myself although a Madeira goes well with conversation.

Wonderful! You did bring your own cup I trust. I am having Assam at the moment, perhaps some Tibetan Flame (pu erh) later.

Nice cup! Whatcha drinkin'?

Greetings ork. To paraphrase the child in the film Matrix, One needs remember that there are no walls. Taoism is experienced by doing. Thus reading without the application of concepts often results in a meeting, sometimes head on, with a 'wall' of one's own creation. Take the time to make...
