    Technically not a line but I can't shake off the word "donger" I got off the Strongest system translation. Also now that I managed to find the exact wording from Renegade Immortal: "How many knew that a moth flying toward a fire sometimes wasn’t a yearning for the fire, but the determination to put that fire out!" Was a neat perspective.

    What's the meaning of this poem? I have a feeling it's some subtle cuckery but not sure.

    Daoist Gu or Reverent Insanity , whichever name you prefer, is full of quotes that changed my life, literally making a wanabee Buddhist out of me.

    This is a short quote:
    Speaking of Rules and regulations.
    "Those who are disappointed, let them be disappointed".

    This speaks to me on a profound level, because so much of my life I spent trying not to disappoint. The quote however sends you in the other direction, on a path of acceptance. People will be disappointed no matter how hard you try , that's just human nature.

    The second part which is broadly spoken about in the book is , Laws and Rules.
    The way people are trapped by self imposed rules and regulations and how people can gain so much power with "authority" , but authority limits what they can do, due to Public perception.

    For instance a president has so much power as an individual, but at the same time is limited by the public perception and decency.
    A regular person is not limited by those , you don't have to be decent if you don't want to be.

    Read the book for yourself , it illustrates the ideas much more clearly that I could ever describe them.

    Hundreds of barges race against currents

    Hawks spread their wings in the vast sky


    Fish swim freely under deep water

    All living things vie for freedom under the autumn sky

    Pondering over the immensity of the universe

    I ask this boundless and misty earth

    Who rules the fate of this world?”

    If heavens had emotions it would grow old, the Great Dao is emotionless and impartial. Every living being has the chance to rise up, it depends on how one uses their opportunities, and how one fights!

    In this world, no one is born to be a side character. And there is no one who is an eternal main character.

    Living beings compete, the weak are eliminated.- Gue Yue Fang Yuan
