Well-being is the natural state of the Universe. Everything that is not well-being is a sham, a lie, a self-delusion, a sham, a pretense and a substitute. Well-being is a feeling of harmony with the flow of the Universe, which in Chinese is called Tao. Fake, imitation, pretense and self-deception are called Mao in Chinese. Tao benefits us, Mao harms us. The Tao is the infinite energy of the infinite Universe, Mao is the yuppie energy of our little scared egg, inflating to the point of bursting. We create Mao when we replace something that is with something we imagine it should be according to our egocentric order, collectivist utopia, bigoted rules, Mao's playbook. Thus prosperity becomes misfortune and Taoists become Maoists. This is reflected in sex and the mystery often associated with it, which is called love. That's exactly what this book is about.
