The world is sacred.
It can't be improved.
If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it.

Illogical.

Yes, this is what typically happens.

Since when has that been a problem for conservatives?

all nature expands exponentially until it meets an equally scalable
countervailing force -
a predator
geophysical boundaries
disease
starvation

why should it be different for humanity?

when i was younger, greed and hypocrisy upset me. now i celebrate that in
the West, the powerful (for the most part) enforce their will with subpoenas
rather than bludgeons. it's a genuine step! and the 50% Buffet/Gates
giving while alive pledge - that is something new under the sun.

btw - don't be too obsessed with conservative vs. liberal. outside social
wedge issues , isn't a lick of difference among incumbents of either party
in stuff that matters to the real economy or ecology. liberalism lost its
teeth and its funding long ago when unions lost the heart of the people.
those days won't soon come again.

Taking issue with the rule book

Be that as it may,
them's the rules accordion
to the Tao Te Ching.

For Christians, Jesus is Tao.
To say he isn't is all well and good
if for you, or whomever, he isn't.

Quibbles are quibbles.
Semantics often sentences one
behind bars of its own making.

To say the world is not sacred,
when for Taoists who follow the TTC it is,
is to simply not follow that rule of thumb.

For one to feel free to make up one's own logic
and apply it to the logic of a different paradigm
might be to have a logic of one's own.
Paradigm ore knot.

Hence an interpretation of the TTC,
in the beginning (Tao able to Tao not always Tao)
or, m'ore cryptic, in Pinyin, dao ke dao fei chang dao.

In DDJ 29 referenced far above,
the Romanized Pinyin reads:
"tian xia shen qi."

Tian xia is often translated as the world.
Shen is often interpreted to mean spirit.
Qi might be pneumatic. Maybe look it up
as it may hold a key within it.

The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It is content with the low places that people disdain.
Thus it is like the Tao.
