Flaw Tao Zen
A Summary Description, for Glossary Entry or Definition:
This is a philosophy which is not religious, but which has many precepts, to personal doctrines, which does address religious issues, in a countering way or manner.
It is a mundane and nontheistic philosophical approach to the world and universe.
It is a humanistic, realistic, naturalistic, pragmatic, holistic, indeterministic, entropic, limitistic, and secular philosophy blend.
It is an approach which results from personal realization of never having, noticed, observed, or experienced sheer perfection.
It grasps an intuition that imperfection, flaw, and entropy are beautiful, rather than ugly.
It is an approach that considers simplistic and perfectionistic plans and policies to be bound to backfire on those populations or persons which those overly idealistic plans and policies were in contrast aimed to benefit.
It is an approach that uses dichotomy and complexity rather than simplifications.
It is an approach which honors the sadness of infrequent and very minority cases of abject suffering and ugly living.
Yet it also considers that even with these ugly realities, which might disillusion some persons of other philosophies, those same atrocious situations do live within an overall beauty to the entirety. That entirety applies across space, at the same moment, and also over lengthier spans of time, at specific locations.
It is an approach that gains confidence in honoring both of these realities to nature, concurrently.
This approach is more supportive of our natures, than would be the overplay of the positive, and the underplay of the negative. That would backfire and have a disheartening effect, due to world view distortion.
It is an approach that considers the beauty of the whole Tao, to only be available within such a natural universe, by way of preexisting — to the foundations of natural sciences and the humanities — imperfection innate to all of our natures and all surroundings. Such does thus freely allow for ugly pockets of abject wrongness to exist.
It is an approach that honors that the fabric of nature is defiant of attempts to reduce freedom and liberty, if unwisely and/or unwittingly done. (This would be typically done by sincere accident, by those unwittingly interested in enacting and preemptively enforcing greatly preventative measures aimed to nearly eliminate anything ugly from happening, in a broad and complete coverage.)
It is an approach that nevertheless considers that such sorts of perfective efforts, if pressuring for that sort of desired perfection, would gladly result in being unable to attain such perfective sheer intransigence, immutability, and infinite constancy.
It is an approach that considers that such perfection is very legitimately greatly more likely to be impossible than possible.
Yet it is also an approach which realizes that any such attempt by portions of humanity to enact or build such perfect policies or plans, would likely, by virtue of attempting such hubris or presumptiveness, provoke a backfire effect.
That effect would prompt cists, travesties, and ruts in localities of nature and our world.
Thus, it is an approach to living that considers and advises that perfection is unwise to pursue.
