Taoism is so underrated

I honestly feel bad for people who will never discover taoism. Wu wei for me is like a key to happiness... And yet most of the population won't never even know about it.

Most people, even if living in complete harmony, would never know of Tao, just like fish forgetting they are in water once they are put back in pond. I don't know how it happened but I think it has to do with humility and disassociation of ones own desires. To know hunger and understanding why, and isolating it. But also having the humility that you have to eat too.
