Fun but silly and reductionist. Daoism could be any of the four colors depending on how you think about it.
The Way is just the way, soft-supernatural determinism, life is without inherent meaning.
Or, The Way is the objectively correct way for things to be, and they suffer when they deviate from that, which they are allowed to do. Objective, probably supernatural too to make sense.
Fully supernatural, one could view the Way as descriptive of the flow of the mystic energy, split into Yin and Yang, whose combined interplay forms the universe, and “flowing” with that energy is the Way, which is also the meaning of life.
Or, The Way cannot be told because each being has it’s own Way which can only be found through experience. The Way is Subjective, but still True.
