All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten.

  • -- Zhuangzi 庄子

所有存在的事物都是一个整体。我们把美丽而稀有的东西看作有价值的东西,把丑陋而丑陋的东西看作污秽而腐朽的东西。污秽而腐朽的东西可以变成稀有而有价值的东西,稀有而有价值的东西可以变成污秽而腐朽的东西。
