You Are Not Me
One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking along a riverbank.
"How delightfully the fishes are enjoying themselves in the water!" Chuang Tzu exclaimed.
"You are not a fish," his friend said. "How do you know whether or not the fishes are enjoying themselves?"
"You are not me," Chuang Tzu said. "How do you know that I do not know that the fishes are enjoying themselves?"
"You are not me," his friend said. "How do you know that I do not know that I do not know that the fishes are enjoying themselves?"
