Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that out! I really appreciate it.

That argument makes a lot of sense to me. I'm really happy to have seen it worked out like you showed. I don't know much about Taoism and Confucianism explicitly, but I do have a good feel for Eastern worldviews, so it makes perfect sense to me. Especially when you throw in that it's all about relationships, too.
