Reward and punishment in Taoism "Critical Analytical Study"

Abstract

Positive religions do not offer doctrines that are characterized by clarity and building a faith that expresses the goal that a person seeks in his earthly life. Taoism is one of these religions that devote its existence to a project that takes into account the organization of human life, by establishing a balance between opposing dualities such as good and evil. Which is the strange thing; Because the middle ground between good and evil is not considered to be any silver state that he can be happy with, and he takes it as a standard upon which to base his human life and relationships with him. We can understand that the humanization experience exists in Taoism through a peaceful relationship with others. But it does not answer us about its position on sin and sins, and it seems that the philosophical situation that developed day after day in the history of this ancient religion was dominant, which led to the existence of a very clear doctrine of contradiction, including the relationship of reward for evil and good; It made the consequence of evil a short lifespan and disease, and the consequence of goodness a long life and safety from diseases. The reason for this is that this doctrine is based on denying the resurrection and the Last Day, and then it formulated its philosophy in a form that mixes myth and science.
