forgive me the joke of this gloomy grimace and trope; for I myself have learned long ago to think differently, to estimate differently with regard to deceiving and being deceived, and I keep in reserve at least a couple of jostles for the blind rage with which the philosophers resist being deceived. Why not? It is no more than a moral prejudice that truth is worth more than mere appearance; it is even the worst proved assumption there is in the world.

"To recognize untruth as a condition of life; that is to impugn the traditional ideas of value in a dangerous manner, and a philosophy which ventures to do so, has thereby alone placed itself beyond good and evil."

other than my signature line which is by Ch'uang Tzu and "absorb what is useful/reject what is useless comes from Krishnamurti.
The Tao gives rise to all forms, yet it has no form of its own. If you attempt to fix a picture of it in your mind, you will lose it. This is like pinning a butterfly: the husk is captured, but the flying is lost. Why not be content with simply experiencing it? -Hua Hu Ching
I confess that there is nothing to teach: no religion, no science, no body of information which will lead your mind back to the Tao. Today I speak in this fashion, tomorrow in another, but always the Integral Way is beyond words and beyond mind. Simply be aware of the oneness of things. -HHC
--------------------
Absorb what is useful. I wish to meet the man who speaks without words so that we may sit and have a conversation. This man makes use of uselessness. Purposelessness is the ultimate fluidity.

the majority of world is brainwashed into thinking, that they are helpless and regard to making any change habit, this whole reality is an illusion, reality is subjective means each individual has their own personal choice which perspective they want to view his or her reality from, now there is two very powerful perspective that one can take, one is that we're limited and the other is that we're limitless.

"All men who decide on difficult issues ought to free themselves from the influence of hatred, friendship, anger and pity. For when these intervene the mind cannot readily judge the truth, and no one has ever served his emotions and his best interests simultaneously. When you set your mind to a task, it prevails; if passion holds sway, it consumes you, and the mind can do nothing." --Julius Caesar before the Roman Senate, 63 BC
