Our opinions do not matter..


Zhuangzi (庄子) was a 4th century BCE Chinese philosopher. In the the Taoist book Zhuangzi (why did he confuse people by using his name as the title of the book) he writes:

Quote
I, by the name of Zhuang Zhou, once dreamed that I was a butterfly, fluttering happily here and there. I was so pleased that I forgot I was Zhuang Zhou. When I suddenly woke up, I was astonished to find that I was a matter of fact Zhuang Zhou. Did Zhuang Zhou dream of the butterfly or did the butterfly dream of Zhuang Zhou?
End Quote

Sounds a bit like an LSD trip to me. Anyway I totally agree with his opinion that opinions don't matter. But wait, what about that opinion? Does it matter? Looks like my laptop is having trouble computing that..
