As a Taoist, I value and respect every object around me for what it is and not what it could be; because “the universe is sacred; you cannot improve it” (#12). “Blurred Lines” is the converse of this idea of respect and value.

Gatsby is a former war veteran and Daisy is the woman he left behind when he went to war.
