The following question is based on your reading of “A Happy Excursion." "Objective existences cannot harm. In a flood which reached the sky, he would not be drowned." Does this mean that floods
are evil?
a. Yes, because they can destroy things. c. No, because a flood has no intention.
b. Yes, because they are active.
d. No, because a flood is just water.

c). No, because a flood has no intention.

Explanation:

As per the question, no, the given quotation doesn't signify that floods are appalling or evil as they don't come with a specific purpose or goal of destroying lives or properties. The idea that the author wishes to convey is the significance of relativism and free will or liberty in life.

Zhuang Zi highlights that an individual should uproot himself from the compelling ideas of 'reputation or success' that the political, as well as, social order teaches him and detach himself from all the fears, threats, or oppression and leave his spirit free of all these restrictions. This is why he says that 'objective existences don't harm' if your spirit is liberated from such orders and self-constructed in itself. Thus, option c is the correct answer.
