Back when Clinton was president, I found a very interesting translation of a traditional Chinese pamphlet about Taoism, basically a book about good and evil men.
What struck me was that, going down a rather comprehensive checklist of what makes a “bad man”, with the exception of two or three that could not be verified, Bill Clinton seemed to have objectively scored 100% as a bad man, just based on his known public behavior.
However, the only cosmic punishment mentioned was that a bad man would have his lifespan reduced. And in that Bill Clinton is 67 years old, so much for Taoism.
RE: a bad man would have his lifespan reduced.
Fidel Castro has been in power since JFK and has outlasted 9 presidents. What does that make him in Taoism?
