Hinduism is concerned with dharma and the cycle of rebirth.
Buddhism is concerned with escaping this cycle of rebirth, by eliminating desire which is the cause of suffering.
Taoism is working with the natural flow of Tao through the universe through non-action.
While what you're saying certainly sounds like eastern philosophy, I can't figure out where it's the basis of any. Unless it's something like Jainism, which I know less about.
All of the traditions you mentioned are founded on a big picture that is beyond human judgement.
That's why nothing is ever really wrong. We can strive to live to the highest sense of virtue, without believing that anything is actually flawed.
Well thanks to wikipedia, I can be versed in Tao too. I learned that wu wei is also often expressed by the paradox wei wu wei, or action without action, which is almost exactly what stu is supporting.
Perfect example. Here comes my big rep stick in response.
It's what he'd support, I believe, but not what is meant by:
"We can address problems, without an overall sense of 'wrongness'."
The only reason wu wei is brought into this is that he said the above is the basis of eastern religions. It almost certainly cannot be interpretted as "action without action," however, since the part I'm concerned with is "overall sense of wrongness."
Trying to trap Stu is like trying to chase a rainbow, when you get close enough it will dissappear and reappear somewhere else. He's magical like that. You can't reel him in with words and logic, only brownies and the hopes and dreams of children can make him appear for a mere moment then drift back into the wonderful ether from wince he came...

MAIN POINT:
Ok...so then...
Nothing is ever wrong. But there can be problems. And it's ok to talk about those problems as though they need fixing.
I guess I'm not seeing where the distinction matters.
For example:
Under your philosophy - George W Bush is doing nothing wrong to America or the world. There's just a few places of virtue he could reach for, but if he doesn't, then it's ok, because he's all part of the grand design of the world.
Without your philosophy - George W Bush is doing things wrong to America and the world. There are a few places of virtue he could reach for, but if he doesn't, it's not ok because he's wrong.
Isn't your philosophy just arguing for dropping a label? If not, where did I go wrong in my understanding?
SIDE POINT:
All religious traditions are founded on a big picture beyond human judgement. So why say eastern religions base their beliefs on your perspective. Near Eastern and Native American traditions have a big picutre beyond human judgement as well. Thus, nothing can ever be wrong based on those religions as well.
I am glad you read my profile, did you happen to catch the part about hating @$$hats?
Not rallying against "adult" discussions but look around old boy. You're posting on a superhero collectible card game forum.
No, but I'm very curious as to why you deliberately ignore my request for you to stop instigating. You'll be reported every time you do.
And if you don't like the topic, please leave the thread. There are plenty of superhero collectable card game threads you might enjoy. There's also one about censorship, so avoid the adult topics there.

Sweet preview.
You can't report someone for instigation, and then respond in kind with the exact type of insult you just reported him for.
Let me sum up:
<> Vs. System is wonderful the way it is, with room for improvement, as we all know that nothing in this world is perfect. (warm day + cold beer + soft boobs + muppet movies, notwithstanding)
<> Stu is a happy-go-lucky kinda guy, and is more accepting of situations than most people would be.
<> Erick wants what is best for the game, even if he tends to be a little overzealous about it.
<> Wikipedia owns.
<> VsRealms.com is like a box of chocolates. Full of nuts.
<> I will go postal if there comes a day that I can't flip cardboard superheroes in my spare time.
<> Randy Moss will make a lousy New England Patriot.
<> This thread delivers.
<> I don't know when to stop these types of lists.

I'm sorry I offended you. I thought there was a difference between bypassing filters to say "asshat," and my recommendation that he ignore threads if he didn't like the topics.
You didn't offend me. I was just making an observation. "Adult swim, kid" and "try to avoid the adult topics" are purely instigating remarks. Don't try to pass them off as anything else.
