7 Principles of Nature: How We Strayed and How We Return Quotes

“Zhuangzi might suggest, the true folly is not that they are greedy, but rather that they are not greedy enough. For why limit oneself to a single, fixed identity when one could, instead, embrace the boundless potential of becoming anything? As Zhuangzi puts it: “Without praises, without curses, now a dragon, now a snake, you transform together with the times, and never consent to be one thing alone.”

“First, we recognize that thoughts are options, not commands. Our heart pumps blood throughout the body, like how thoughts arise in relation to our brain activity. It is easy to be swayed by the illusion that you are just the content of your thoughts, but you are also the process that can transcend and guide them. They are options, just information to be considered, not who you are.”
