Taoism is the philosophy/religion that was created in ancient china. The best analogy to taoism is a flowing river. You may try to resist the river and climb upstream but eventually you flow in the same direction. In life, you are always meant to arrive at a certain point, you can resist that or let it happen. Taoist texts help us to deepen the understanding of anchient china by showing us their mindset. They believed in a great after life, so no matter what happened in life everyone would arrive at the same afterlife, with or without resistance. This is interesting because it is similar to the phrase "Go with the flow."
