"All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten"

This quote by Zhuangzi indicates that all things around are adjoined and basically one. The understanding of worth put on things, such as beauty versus ugliness, is approximate and subjective. Additionally, the quote recommends that things that might be considered unfavorable or of little worth can potentially transform into something rare and important, while that which is currently considered important can ultimately end up being undesirable or worthless. This highlights the principle of impermanence and the ever-changing nature of presence.
