Chuang Tse and Huizi were strolling along the dam of the Hao Waterfall when Chuang Tse said, "See how the minnows come out and dart around where they please! That's what fish really enjoy!"
Huizi: "You're not a fish — how do you know what fish enjoy?"
Chuang Tse: "You're not I, so how do you know I don't know what fish enjoy?"
Huizi: "I'm not you, so I certainly don't know what you know. On the other hand, you're certainly not a fish — so that still proves you don't know what fish enjoy!"
Chuang Tse: "Let's go back to your original question, please. You asked me how I know what fish enjoy — so you already knew I knew it when you asked the question. I know it by standing here beside the Hao."
I may be reading this the wrong way but Chuang Tse's last reply sounded like "I know but I ain't tellin'" which doesn't sound very well thought out to me then again he became prominent Taosit philosopher who thought he was a butterfly while I'm sitting behind a desk making blog entries.
if you ask me who the other guy is I wouldn't have a clue I mean Who is he anyway?
