Outside of the small metaphysical branch, Taoism stresses that individuals find their own paths to a healthy lifestyles through investigating nature. In this way the component of logical ethics comprises some "core" beliefs to Taoism, although I'm hesitant to use such a strong word. You are not doing good because it's socially acceptable, but because you came to your own conclusion through looking at natural interactions and events.

On the basic level humans share a remarkably similar sense of unity because we're the same species: just like you see patterns in animal behavior, so are there patterns in us.
