Reflection: The most important thing I learned about Taoism is that it's all about finding balance and going with the flow of life instead of trying to control everything. I thought wu wei was really interesting because it shows that sometimes it's better to let things happen naturally rather than forcing them. I also learned how yin and yang represent different opposites that work together. Making this mindmap helped me understand Taoism a lot better.
