Daoism is a way of life. A way that requires status and influence. A master will save energy by not greeting those that he doesn't like. After all, resources are getting scarce in this world so it is always wise to save up energy. Like any other thing, it is a double-edged sword. It can destroy one as well. So what is daoism? It is simply being dao(the english word closest in meaning would be to ignore), to people whom you think are going to have no impact on your life whatsoever. Obviously, this luxury is only for people who have too many friends and need to get rid of a few. Then again, sometimes, even one friend can be one too many. If you are one of these 'lucky' ones, tcs gives you all you need to dao.
First things first. Always be on the alert. If you really didn't see him, it isn't a dao anymore. It means you're blur like sotong, and that I had your balls for lunch from the yongtaufoo stall and that you got no balls. So look out for people just so you can dao them. Actually I shouldn't have used the word 'him', or her for that matter because if you are going to dao someone, you obviously don't feel any emotion for that something. Nor do you give a shit about this object's feelings. Therefore, when referring to the target, we use the perfectly neutral and objective 'it' as a pronoun.
Being dao says something about you. It all depends on what(who) you are doing it to. I'm not going to be offensive (or maybe I'm just lazy) so I'll leave it to your imagination.
Anyway, here are the nine commandments to being dao, gathered from observations all around the school.
1. Walk in another direction.
2. Pretend to be drinking and concentrating on the cup.( To further reinforce your statement, you can drink from an empty cup)
3. Stare into space angrily. I bet nobody will approach you.
4. Walk past as though it does not exist (Make sure to stare casually at it as though there was nothing)
5. Look at the sky as though there's a shooting star.
6. Stare at your wrist as though looking at your watch (even though there is none)
7. Immediately bend down to tie your shoelaces (untie them if they're tied already)
8. Take out a book to read (all the more better if you're universally known as a lazy idiot who gets by school through plagiarism)
9. Close your eyes and pretend to sleep while standing with only one leg on the floor.
Some preconditions (There are some people you simply don't dao)
1. You don't dao someone who is holding a gun that is pointing at you.
2. You don't dao the only 2-metre-tall person in school.
Hard Truths
There's no way to dao if... everyone's a complete stranger, meaning you are anti-social, or you dao too much.
Don't dao if... nobody cares about you anyway.
Dao me if... you're irritating. please.
Practise daoism today.
P.S. Don't worry, we at tcs are not dao. We're just yandao.
