Religious texts were written by humans, humans with various interests. Some of them were interested in purity of mind and teaching others the good way of life as they saw it. Some others had more worldly interests, like political power.Taoism is a very gentle way of life. I've heard that many people in far east have two religions-one of them being Taoism, because it is a social philosophy of life, rather than a religion. It goes very well with Buddhism, as a general day to day practice though the ultimate goals and fine details of Buddhism is much deeper.Far Eastern countries had a different faith in early times: they believed everything that comes from west was evil. This is one reason why the religions that was brought by people travelling along the silk road from west to east, had difficulty rooting down in these countries. In later years, with political power of the west ruling over these countries, like in Sri Lanka, people changed, for social/economic benefit; to survive.Then they wrote new books.Most information on net reflect the faith of those who provide the information. eg: wikipedia</blockquote>
