Wait a moment.
So being a Daoist can be reduced to be a smug cryptic asshole? And you achieve immortality that way?

It's completely untranslatable into modern Chinese, let alone English. I remember an anon praising Boonberg very well, check him out to see what I mean.

Heidegger tried translating it into German but he concluded the same thing. Classical Chinese just wasn't meant to be spoken, and the variety and complexity of meaning one word or sentence can have is massive naturally compared to spoken languages, but intuitively I sense this would have its own trade-off of some lacking immediacy in some respect or idea which I know not because I barely know the language.
