RitchiePoor is starting The Book of Chuang Tzu
"-you [Mr Tien] cannot claim that Heaven made them [animals] in the first place just for us to eat. After all, mosquitos and gnats bite our skin, tigers and wolves eat our flesh. Does this mean Heaven originally created us for the sake of the mosquitos, gnats, tigers and wolves?"

This book is already brimming with wit and splendour, contradicting contradictions and profound deconstructionism. Written 2500 years ago.
