Celebrate gnarly trees

"Axes will never shorten its life, nothing can ever harm it. If there's no use for it, how can it come to grief or pain?"

A gnarled and bumpy tree cannot be reduced to its usefulness. By extension, neither can a human being. If one stops to focus on its usefulness, one can come to enjoy them.

Zhuangzi similarly describes disabled people. They should be celebrated for who they are and not try to be fixed or changed.
