The way of Tao is closed. Youth may not enter save by doing violence to his natural instincts.
Passivity, old age, introspection belong to Lieh Tzu ; joyousness and contentment to Yang Chu.
The whole of his philosophy is sustained by this sense of happiness easily obtained, close at hand, a happiness that is independent of enforced and uncongenial labour, deadening the senses and turning men into unwilling beasts, and inde- pendent of the burden of riches, which in them- selves are a direct mea...ns of limiting personality.
" Yuan Hsien lived in mean circumstances in Lu, while Tse Kung amassed wealth in Wei.
" Poverty galled the one and riches caused uneasiness to the other, " So poverty will not do, nor wealth either, " Enjoy life and take one's ease, for those who know how to enjoy life are not poor, and he that lives at ease requires no riches. " The philosopher does not say how this happy condition of life is to be brought about. To him it was possibly a corollary to the discovery of the uselessness of wealth for the purpose of happi- ness.
