What Is Taoism?
Taoism is An old religion started by a man named Lao-Tzu. Taoism originated around 2000 years ago in China. The religion ha also spread to Korea and Japan. Taoism has millions of followers today. 20 million to be exact. The "Holy Book" of the religion is called the Tao Te Ching. Religious holidays are important to Taoists. They celebrate the Chinese New Year, the Lantern festival, Tomb Sweeping, the Dragon Boat, Ghosts, and Mid Autumn festivals, Double Ninth Day and Lao-Tzu's birthday. Wow, thats a lot of holidays. The Taoists also have rituals, practices, and beliefs like everyone else does. They believe in death and the afterlife as well as immortals. The purpose of life and the Tao plus chi. There is a lot of beliefs. Their clothing style consists of dresses or robes. Is there a hierarchy? Yes, there is believed to be an old family that had a hierarchy but it doesn't really specify who. But they are to have lived in China. So I have learned a lot from this. for more information, please check out this link.

Why people boast about themselves?
Well I think that people boast about themselves, is because they are jealous of you. There are some other reasons why this happens. One is because they have no life and want to cause people to share what they feel. Another reason is that they are so arrogant of themselves, or full of themselves that they have to boast about everything they do. It's making people feel bad about what they have done. Making the "Bullyer" look like a hero. Like today for example. I was enjoying myself in a little game of football in gym class right? So i threw some interceptions so what? Then I have members of the opposite team come over and yelled right in my face, "YEAH" or "WHAT?" or "You going to cry now?" I wanted to do something about it but i just let them because i knew they had no life at all. Being sore winners and keep on boasting in the locker room? Oh well. Just let them carry n with their lives and you carry on with yours.
