Chuang Tze, a
Chinese
philosopher made this
point. He said that there was a person who hated his own
shadow. He did not want himself to be followed by a
shadow. Therefore he ran very fast. Finally, he was
exhausted to death. When we amend the Bill, will we be
doing the same? Chuang Tze, the philosopher, gave another
example. There was another person who hated his own
footmarks,
therefore he walked faster and faster. Once
again he was exhausted to death. In another place, Chuang
Tze told a story which is even more peculiar. It has to
do with the shadow and the shadow of the shadow. One
asked the other: 'why do you not have voluntary control
over your movements. The shadow said: 'I do not have any
voluntary control. I will have to follow the physical
body, there is nothing more

I
can do.' So the shadow of
the shadow said: 'Ah, that is why you are so pitiful.' We
do not have the shadow of the shadow because the shadow is
already a shadow. We cannot have a shadow of the shadow.
Therefore Chuang Tze was arguing
Chuang Tze's point was that we must be liberal. We should
look at the cause of the problem and find solutions and
not go after the shadow.
