Well, Vanima, as in another tale in the Lieh-Tzu, a wise sage says that some people can apply a technique without knowing how, while others may no how but cannot apply it. Obviously, the chicken can at the least be enlightened without knowing it, and therefore act in reflex, but how can we truly understand anything other then ourselves, or something as great as the chicken?

Now, on the matter of destiny, I believe every chicken has the power to control his/her fate. How is this possible? you may ask. Well, its very simple really. The chicken, greater then us by all means, truly understands the balance between Heaven and Earth. By understanding this, they are not constrained by titles, money, lust, or power, as most mortals are. No, I think chickens understand that they are born, and they will die, so why tire themselves while they live?

In conclusion, we can assume that chickens, however frail they may appear, are in fact worthy role-models for the everday human, elf, dwarf, or hobbit.
