Taoism isn't a value system, so the statements about value you've made - come from you. Not Taoism.... Taoism also doesn't dictate a path.

Also, why are people warning you about your own choices? I don't know whose telling you this stuff, but maybe don't listen to them, or anyone else trying to sound mystical about it all. This isn't a kung fu movie.

    With a range of meaning in Chinese philosophy, translations of Tao include 'way', 'road', 'path', or 'technique'

    Its whole philosophy relies on finding One’s path. Definition is up to the individual, but it’s important to make sure you’re telling that to someone in a healthy state of mind.

    Sure, but I think that's a bit like claiming the Buddhist concept of "Perfect Effort" is a set place, rather than a techniques the user can use to attempt anything.

    It's a bit like claiming heaven has an address. It's silly.

    The way isn't about a set teleology or way/path of doing things, it's a philosophy by which one can achieve many things. Not a finite set instruction list or address.
