If there is one thing you should never do, it would be to piss off a crow. Damn bloody birds are some of the smartest animals alive on this planet (collectively-speaking that is) and I'm not exaggerating even a little bit. Think back on the last time you were able to zero in on the face... Continue Reading →
This is an open letter to you, Mister Thánh Gióng. Yes YOU! I am not sure where you are hiding and why you have been in hiding for so long, but we need you to come back out and help us with this situation that is starting to escalate out of our control. Vietnam is in... Continue Reading →
This has nothing to do with Taoism. This is just a picture of millions of dead fish off the coast of Vietnam. On second thought, this does have to do with Taoism.

I mean, it's ok to focus in on the myriad of infinite details to understand more about what's what, but to get the gist of what's going on, we have to see the forest as a small portion of the...

Stagnation is a desired state-of-being. In fact, many people don't want anything to change and will fight tooth and nail to avoid any real changes. This may be due to the idea that, in general, people want things to stay the same forever and ever, even when things are not as great as they could possibly be. Better the... Continue Reading →
