"We're cast into this human form, and it's such happiness.
This human form knows change, but the ten thousand changes
are utterly boundless. Who could calculate the joys they promise?
 
"And so the sage wanders where nothing is hidden and everything is preserved. The sage calls dying young a blessing and living long a blessing, calls beginnings a blessing and endings a blessing. We might make such a person our teacher, but there's something the ten thousand things belong to, something all change depends on - imagine making that your teacher!"
 
"Way has its own nature and its own reliability: it does nothing and it has no form. It can be passed on, but never received and held. You can master it, but you can't see it. Its own source, its own root - - it was there before heaven and earth, firm and constant from ancient times. It makes gods and demons sacred, gives birth to heaven and earth. It's above the absolute pole, but is not high. It's below the six directions, but is not deep. It predates the birth of heaven and earth, but is not ancient. It precedes high antiquity, but is not old."

- Chuang Tzu
