Two fighting roosters mean the battle of life
Quote of Chuang Tzu:
Ji Xing Zi raised fighting cocks for the sovereign.
Ten days passed, and the emperor asked:
“Are roosters ready for a fight?”
– Not yet. It walks arrogantly, and then falls into a rage, – said Shin Ji-tzu.
It took another ten days, and the emperor again asked the same question.
– Not yet, – said Shin Ji-tzu. – It still falls into a rage from any shadow and every sound.
Another ten days passed, and the king asked again about the same.
– Not yet. He looks angry and tries to show the strength.
Ten days later, the emperor asked again about the same.
– Almost ready, – said, this time Ji Sin Tzu. –
Even if another rooster screams, it is not worried. If to look at him from a distance – as if carved out of wood. The life force in it has reached completion. Other roosters will not dare take challenge: as soon as they see it, they immediately turn and flee away.
