Quote


"The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present."

Zhuangzi

-Points that Zhuangzi makes-
  • everything is everything
  • there is no good or bad, only thinking makes it so
  • The world around us may be perceived as an illusion from our senses our experiences and our interpretations, thus illusions are irrelevant to conclude an definite right or wrong way.
  • Death is just a passage of the illusion of life.
