"When people see things as beautiful, ugliness is created. When people see things as good, evil is created. Being and non-being produce each other. Difficult and easy complement each other. Long and short define each other. High and low oppose each other. Fore and aft follow each other. Therefore the Master can act without doing anything and teach without saying a word. Things come her way and she does not stop them; things leave and she lets them go. She has without possessing, and acts without any expectations. When her work is done, she takes no credit. That is why it will last forever." Tao Te Ching, chapter 2, Tao Te Ching.                                                                                            Taoist beliefs focus on respecting and protecting nature, for the purpose of balance between the human  and their environment ,as we are just a very small portion of the larger process of nature.
