: Hi Joseph
:
: Worthy by our gut feeling regarding what
: behavior we think is worthy, and what is
: unworthy. We generally think, for example,
: that the Buddha is worthy/noble, and that a
: serial murderer is unworthy/ignoble.

: Zhuangzi says
:
: 以道觀之，物無貴賤；以物觀之，自貴而相賤
: Yi dao guan zhi, wu wu gui jian, yi wu guan
: zhi, zi gui er xiang jian.
:
: "From the dao's view no creature is
: worthy nor mean, from a creature's view it
: is worthy and others are mean."
:
: The daoguan here has an archetypal dynamic
: that is not too different from Luther's
: formulation, although it does not depend on
: an ultimate salvation.
:
: love,
: rat
:
: I like your answer.
:
... from the tao's view no creature is worthy nor mean, from a creature's view it is worthy and others are mean....
