Nicole Pinhiero 11/30/15 Taoism As I sit here trying to find the right words to start this paper I can’t help but think how almost comical it is that Benjamin Huff points out in his book‚ “The Tao of Pooh‚” that a scholar is perplexed by the concept of the Tao because his own knowledge gets in the way of his understanding.
