You shouldn't allow yourself to get caught in whirlpools from which there is no escape. In his opinion, Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi all wanted us to become ourselves. In the search for the self, Mencius was the most energetic, Confucius took the broadest view, Zhuangzi was the most detached, and Laozi had the deepest insight.
