Or that the fear of death is not like a young person running away from home and unable to find his way back? The Lady Li Chi was the daughter of a border warden, Ai. When the state of Chin captured her, she wept until she had drenched her robes; then she came to the King’s palace, shared the King’s bed, ate his food, and repented of her tears. How do I know whether the dead now repent for their former clinging to life? ‘Come the morning, those who dream of the drunken feast may weep and moan; when the morning comes, those who dream of weeping and moaning go hunting in the fields. When they dream, they don’t know it is a dream. Indeed, in their dreams they may think they are interpreting dreams, only when they awake do they know it was a dream. Eventually there comes the day of reckoning and awakening, and then we shall know that it was all a great dream. Only fools think that they are now awake and that they really know what is going on, playing the prince and then playing the servant. What fools! The Master and you are both living in a dream. When I say a dream, I am also dreaming. This very saying is a deception. If after ten thousand years we could once meet a truly great sage, one who understands, it would seem as if it had only been a morning.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Chuang Tzu" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/chuang-tzu/how-do-i-know-that-the-love-of-life-is-not-a-delusion-or-that-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e43/chuang-tzu-35636_death_how-do-i-know-that-the-love-of-life-is-n_702049.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e43/chuang-tzu-35636_death_how-do-i-know-that-the-love-of-life-is-n_702049.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e43/chuang-tzu-35636_death_how-do-i-know-that-the-love-of-life-is-n_702049.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“How do I know that the love of life is not a delusion?
