Whitepill Taoism vs buddhism

[Mathiverse]

Both acknowledge life's suffering but they both have different solutions

Buddhism's philosophy is to stop craving all together because craving leads to suffering.

For taoism, it can be interpreted in many way but the most common way to interpret it as 'to go with the 'flow' the flow is considered the natural way of life, going against the flow like worrying to much, doing things that doesn't seem to match your natural state is what harmful, the flow is something that always going to lead you to the best path. Doing action while not doing action, winning without any effort, effortless effort

I think taoism would suit me better, but both seem hard in practice

Both are copes no more enlightened/enlightening than a frequent LSD user.

But Taosim seems more practical or humanly possible.

there is no distinction, the Way (not flow) in Taoism is derivative of Confucianism which itself is a kind of populist Buddhism, the Way is just stupid hippie cope repackaged as some ancient saying. It prolly more had to do with enforcing caste/ class hierarchical strata rather than any real concept of depth. Ajivika is the only non cope philosophy.
