the only translation we can give for the word "tao" is the vague phrase, "the path", or "the way"

everyone must have a path to follow. if there is no path, we stand totally still and get nothing done. everyone must do their small bit in altering the course of history for the better. there is a jewish expression: "you are not required to complete the work, nor are your free to ignore it." so here is my bit, my piece, my pledge, my path: i will create something awesome. something that will make people smile. something fabulous. here is my current idea:
i will build a building based on rennesance churches, but with only natural, non-religious imagery. and it will be a marketplace, kind of like a flea market, where people go sell their stuff. and i will paint every inch of it with poems. and 50% of all profits will go to charity. and on weekends, it will be like an actual church, but without the bible or jesus or anything like that. just a church of poety and song and happiness. it will be the most beautiful place in the world.
