The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not.
Zhuangzi...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
ZhuangziThe man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
ZhuangziWhen the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten; when the belt fits, the belly is forgotten; when the heart is right, "for" and "against" are forgotten. There is no change in what is inside, no following what is outside, when the adjustment to events is comfortable. One begins with what is comfortable and never experiences what is uncomfortable, when one knows the comfort of forgetting what is comfortable.
