DogenWhat you think in your own mind to be good, or what people of the world think is good, is not necessarily good.

As a consequence, we make ourselves inseparable from all things, yet we are not like some shadowy figure 'lodging' in a mirror or like the moon in water. Whenever we witness what is on the one side, its opposite side will be in darkness.
