 Re: Language Imperialism, Concepts and Civilization: China versus The West

I agree with Coyote. Firstly, you cannot simply compare and contrast antiquities like Greek, Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Chinese culture; and therefore the possibility is even much more reduced when attempting to compare a continuing antiquity of the Chinese culture against modern Western cultures.

In the Taoist ethos of emptiness, things are like water and the wind, that it comes and goes. It is there but you cannot catch it. If you catch it no longer is the Tao. So Tao has no ego or self. It is ephemeral. the ephemeral cannot be caught or comapred or contrasted. If one has no ego, there is no 'dick'! Simple as that. Thinking on the purported endowments of one's dick is having an ego!
