Zhuangzi - Discussion on making all things equal

Now I am going to make a statement here. I don't know whether it fits into the category of other people's statements or not. But whether it fits into their category or whether it doesn't, it obviously fits into some category. So in that respect it is no different from their statements. However, let me try making my statement.
There is a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be a beginning. There is being. There is nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. There is a not yet beginning to be a not yet beginning to be nonbeing. Suddenly there is nonbeing. But I do not know, when it comes to nonbeing, which is really being and which is nonbeing. Now I have just said something. But I don't know whether what I have said has really said something or whether it hasn't said something.
Zhuangzi - Discussion on making all things equal.

Hebrew Version:
עתה אומר משהו. כשאני אומר משהו – האם אני טוען משהו? האם אין אני טוען משהו? איני יודע.. ובכן, אנסה לומר משהו: הבה נניח שיש התחלה. אם כך יש "עדיין אין התחלה". אם כך יש "עדיין אין עדיין אין התחלה" אם כך יש "יש" ויש "אין". אם כך יש גם "עדיין אין יש ואין אין" אם כך יש "עדיין אין אין יש ואין אין אין" הנה בדרך זאת מופיעים היש והאין. איני יודע איזה מהם ישנו ואיזה מהם איננו. הנה אמרתי משהו. אבל באמרי זאת האם אמרתי משהו? האם לא אמרתי דבר? אינני יודע.

This paragraph was one of the things I read during "Philosophy of Science" class in the university. Although it's the only humane class I toke in my study, it was on of the best.
