On inauthenticity, via Zhuangzi

If you properly view everything as its own self, nothing can be inauthentic, because it is absolutely itself. Ultimately when we say something is inauthentic what we really mean is "I believe that this thing is or should be something that it's not, and despise it for that."

(not quoting Zhuangzi, just acknowledging the source of the idea.)
