I have long argued that “The Big Lebowski” holds some higher meaning. You have no doubt heard about “The Tao of Pooh.” I bring you the wisdom of Lebowski. Sorry for the language, but as his dudeness once said when asked “do you have to use so many cuss words?
The fuck you talkin' 'bout?
Taoism tells us….
the way of man's cooperation with the course or trend of the natural world, whose principles we discover in the flow patterns of water, gas, an fire, which are subsequently memorialized or sculptured in those of stone and wood, and, later, in many forms of human art. What they had to say is of immense importance for our own times when in the +20th century, we are realizing that our efforts to rule nature by technical force and "straighten it out" may have the most disastrous results." (From "Tao - The Watercourse Way", Pantheon Books, 1975, xiv).
The Big Lebowski teaches…
This aggression will not stand, man.
Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.
Your Like a child, a child who wanders into the middle of movie, and wants to know what is going on you have no fame of reference Your out of your element.
1)Forget about the fucking toe! 3) Excuse me, sir, but could you keep your voice down? This is a family restaurant. 1)Oh please, dear. For your information, lady, the supreme court has roundly rejected prior restraint. 2)This is not a first amendment thing. 3)Sir, if you don't calm down I'm going to have to ask you to leave. 1)Lady, I got buddies who died face down in the mud so you and I could enjoy this family restaurant. 2)Alright I'm outta here. 1)Dude, don't go away man. This affects all of us. There are basic freedoms! I'm staying. I'm finishing my coffee. Enjoying my coffee.
Taoism says…
"Taoism is not a religion, nor a philosophy. It is a "Way" of life. [...] The Tao is the natural order of things." (From the site http://www.crystalinks.com/taoism.html)
The Big Lebowski teaches…
The dude abides.
Life does not stop and start at your convenience, you miserable PIECE OF SHIT!
Fuck it Dude, lt's go bowling.
Taoism tells us…
Daodejing doesn't translate into "The Way of Virtue", you know.
Te means "virtue" as in something's manifestations. Like the Te of a rock is that it is hard. It being hard is "by virtue of" it being a rock.
The Dude tells us…
1) Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn't that what makes a man? 2) Sure, that and a pair of testicles.
Taoism tells us…
Tao means "the way" as in an abbreviation for "The Way Things Are".
A better translation for Daodejing than "The Way of Virtue", I think, would be "The Way Things Are, and Its Consequences".
The big Lebowski teaches us about consequences…
He’s a sex offender, with a record. He did six months in Chino for exposing himself to an eight-year-old. When he moved to Hollywood he had to go door-to-door to tell everyone he was a pederast.
This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass
Taoism tells us…
"Contrary to what many modern translations of the Tao Te Ching purport, Taoism is not an esoteric, New Aged, and mysterious eastern philosophy founded upon the principles of the other major world religions. It in no way resembles Judaism, Christianity or Buddhism, and does espouse the idea that people should love each other unconditionally." (Abstract from Newsletter issued by the Center for Traditional Taoist Studies, Boston, Massachusetts
http://www.tao.org ).
The Big Lebowski teaches…
Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos.
1.) And, you know, he's got emotional problems, man. 2.) You mean... beyond pacifism?
Nobody fuck with Jesus...Jesus will fuck you up.
