To have attained to the human form is a source of joy... What an incomparable bliss it is to undergo these countless transitions.
ZhuangziThere may be difficulty at the moment, but I will not lose the Virtue that I possess. It is when the ice and snow are on them that we see the strength of the cypress and the pine. I am grateful for this trouble around me, because it gives me an opportunity to realize how fortunate I am.
ZhuangziLet everything be allowed to do what it naturally does, so that its nature will be satisfied.
