La gran comprensión es amplia y sin prisa; la pequeña comprensión es estrecha y apretujada.
Las grandes palabras son claras y límpidas ; las pequeñas palabras son locuaces y agudas.

🦋"Once upon a time, I, Zhuang Zhou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhou. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man." - #Zhuangzi, Ch 2 tr Burton Watson

Do you think this turtle would prefer to be dead and having his carcass exalted, or alive and dragging his tail through the mud?" The emissaries said, "Alive and dragging his tail through the mud." Zhuangzi said, "Away with you then! I too will drag my tail through the mud!"

Seeing the Way
Only the perfect man can transcend the limits of the human and yet not withdraw from the world, live in accord with mankind and yet suffer no injury himself. Of the worlds teaching he learns nothing. He has that within which makes him independent of others.If the eye is unobstructed, the result is sight. If the ear is unobstructed, the result

"We read in the Chuang-tzu: [..] Suddenly I awoke, and there I lay, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man."
