Do not confuse self-help with a life philosophy. That's how you get hooked on Scientology.

Much bigger fan of Taoism, where the world is a movie and you should sit back and enjoy watching things unfold.

Enjoy it so much in fact, you fake your own death by substituting your corpse with a log or something to become immortal, and then have fun fighting off soul tax collectors trying to drag you into the afterlife every now and then.

That's how Taoism works, I swear! One of the goals is making the Golden Elixir and becoming a Sennin - an immortal hermit. Those things all happened, they wouldn't lie to us or exaggerate, right? Right...?

I don’t understand the point of making fun of people who turn to selflessness instead conspicuous materialism. Philosophies are misinterpreted. Buddhist teachings couldn’t be read in a lifetime nor could someone with a limited understanding of them be in a position to judge. You’re right in that it’s been hijacked by evil forces to manipulate people. It’s all very frustrating.
