A while ago I had an idea for a series of bumper stickers about Eastern philosophy — all variations on the theme of “We’re All Fucked.” (Note: not accurate, particularly in the glossing of Mo-Tzu’s 兼爱.) For example:
Buddhism:
We’re All Fucked
pray for oblivion
Taoism (Lao-Tzu):
We’re All Fucked
don’t let them know they’re fucked
Confucius:
We’re All Fucked
unless you study really hard
Taoism (Chuang-Tzu):
We’re All Fucked
let’s go fishing
Sun-Tzu:
We’re All Fucked
quick, fuck them from behind when they’re not looking
Mo-Tzu:
We’re All Fucked
fuck around

Hah… I like that interpretation.
Let me try one:
Xun Zi: We’re all fucked (Because you didn’t do everything according to my myriad of rules and systems, which is important because you’re so evil to begin with.)
