Male-ish Bonding

Male-ish Bonding

When Intellectualism stormed away from Conservatism, Daoism felt he could help. The only reason he didn’t was that he simply was never going to. A man may be strong enough to jump in the midst of crocodiles and manage to wrestle one down, but if he had any sense he would keep his feet on the ground. Silently, Pragmatism walked up behind Daoism, putting a hand on his shoulder in silent agreement and pouring him another cup of wine.

Daoism and Buddhism

Cast:

Daoism(Taoism)-- religion usually centered around the elusive Dao(or Tao)

Daoism and Buddhism

Daoism and Buddhism usually got along. Their secret was less that they liked each other personally and more that they knew how to be around each other. When they met, they spoke only as far as they had to. If one of them saw something of note, they would simply point. They knew by the tilt of the other’s head whether there was anything of note to hear. If nothing was of note, they sipped their tea and simply let their breath be their answer to the world.
