I would argue Chuang Tzu was speaking of the time humans were small groups of hunter-gatherers.

Small groups of hunter-gatherers were only nice to each other within the group. I would much rather live in a world where it's accepted to lie to your neighbor than one where it's accepted to murder someone who isn't.

Hunter-gatherers also resorted to murder in-group too.
