Not sure what you mean. I know the whole webbed toe/extra finger thing sounds weird, but it is what it is.

Would anybody who is familiar with the texts of taoism care to help me with an interpretation of Book VIII section 1 (pretty much the first paragraph) in the texts of taoism? I understand that its basically saying that benevolence and righteousness are not natural growths of humanity, but excrescences on it, like the extra finger on the hand and the membranous web of the toe, but that is all i can come up with for the moment. Please, any help would be appreciated. I have a group presentation tomorrow and i would like to say more than a couple sentences! Thanks!

Hey guys my names Andy, I go to Virginia Commonwealth University and am currently taking a taoism course. It is probably one of the most fascinating classes I have taken so far. I also practice Wing Chun kung fu on a regular basis, and I love it. Good to meet you all!
