For me reading the Tao Te Ching was a game changer. Some of the ideas in that book really changed my perspective on things.

    I feel that the book should be interpreted by the individual. I feel its no use me saying my interpretations of the text, its better if you come up with your own.

      False equivalency, just because you state your own interpretation doesn’t mean I can’t come up with my own. If you critically think abt the text which you should do anyways you will still get your own interpretation and infact by hearing others your own interpretation could be influenced in a way that is valuable in and of itself. The most anyone or thing can do is influence your interpretation but the biggest influence by far is going to be your own personal life experiences and you stating your own interpretation won’t change those.
