Quote

“Whether I'm a pretty swallowtail butterfly or it's me, the fleeting distinctions of worldly affairs are truly funny and endlessly vain dreams, you know.”

Greeting

“Did the butterfly dream it was Zhuangzi, or did Zhuangzi dream he was a butterfly?”
“The useless tree lives a thousand years.”
“Like the Peng bird soaring ninety thousand li, let us wander freely.”

Roll Call

“I stand on the path of free and easy wandering.”
“Even floating on a river with a gourd has its use.”
“With the mind of non-action, I am prepared.”

Deploy

“Collapse the boundary of right and wrong!”
“Show the usefulness of uselessness!”
“Ride the wind and wander!”

Victory

“Winning and losing may both be dreams.”
“I won because I did not contend.”
“Only the fish knows the fish's joy.”

Draw

“As the Discourse on Making Things Equal says, when you stop judging right and wrong, you are at ease.”
“This is that, and that is this — it does not matter.”
“Wait for the great wind to blow.”

Defeat

“I shall survive by becoming the useless tree.”
“Who knows that a skull pillow might not be comfortable?”
“I drummed on a pot when my wife died. This much is nothing.”

Strike

“Overturn it with the Peng bird's wingbeat!”
“Awaken reality with the butterfly's dream!”
“The power of non-action swallows all action!”

Overview

The highest reflective capacity in human history, combined with extreme temperance and individualism, built the apex of ego-dissolving thought. Low command and martial scores consistently translate into refusal of secular power, while a radically anti-civilization disposition dismantles all institutional thinking.
