The document discusses the Tao of social media. It begins by defining the Tao as the source and driving force behind all things. It then explains that ancient wisdom teaches achieving a holistic understanding through personal experience and compassion rather than rigid worldviews. The document states that the Tao of social media is accepting yourself rather than trying to resolve contradictions, and that you define social media rather than it defining you. It is both the source and driving force of communication and sharing.
2. Tao
Denotes something that is both the source and
the driving force behind everything that exists.
i.e. the path is the same as the goal
3. Tao
Ancient wisdom teaches that we can achieve a
more holistic and dynamic conception of the
world through personal experience and
compassion, rather than a static worldview
dependent on fictitious absolutes.

4. Tao of Social Media
The path to understanding is simply accepting
yourself...don't try to resolve the contradictions, instead
learn acceptance of your nature
The same can be said about understanding social
media...you define what it is, not the other way around.
Is both the source and the driving force of
communication and sharing.
Tao literally means way It is a religion of unity and opposites; Yin and Yang. The principle of Yin Yang sees the world as filled with complementary forces - action and non-action, light and dark, hot and cold, and so on
These are examples of different platforms for sharing our lives....good, bad, whatever... Social media is weird if real life Meet person...ask about where you are, food, pics of pets/babies Like things Not weird...everyone is at least aware Mom story
Ability to share what we create
Closing points: -Now Social media, like tao is combo of complimentary parts, not good nor evil...both together, it exists in and because of itself -We have to embrace even if not part of our life, part of global community life -something thats a part of us and we're a part of -thursday sessions It is a religion of unity and opposites; Yin and Yang. The principle of Yin Yang sees the world as filled with complementary forces - action and non-action, light and dark, hot and cold, and so on
