"...So what is life for? Life is for beauty and substance and sound and
colour; and even those are often forbidden by law [socio-cultural
conventions]. . . . Why not be free and live your own life? Why follow other
people's rules and live to please others?..." ~Lieh-Tzu/Liezi, Taoist Sage
(c. 450- c. 375 BCE) ~~~

<<..."Per cosa è la vita? La vita è per la bellezza, e sostanza, e suono, e
colore; e anche quelli sono spesso proibiti da legge [convenzioni
socioculturali]. ...Perchè non siete liberi, e vivete le vostre proprie vite?
Perchè seguite le regole altrui vivendo per piacere ad altri?...>> ~~~
