    Of Respect

    Every person has his own destiny.

    Life is not easy at all. This is not a world full of peace and happiness.

    If you get, you are lucky, there’s nothing to be proud of.

    There are people, who suffer hunger; who live in war; who are too poor to be educated; who get fragmentized family; who are betrayed by their lovers.

    That is not their fault.

    You have to respect others’ pain, sadness, poverty and adversity.

    Mutability

                                                              The flower that smiles to-day
                                                              To-morrow dies;
                                                              All that we wish to stay
                                                              Tempts and then flies.
                                                              What is this world's delight?
                                                              Lightning that mocks the night,
                                                              Brief even as bright.

                                                              Virtue, how frail it is!
                                                              Friendship how rare!
                                                              Love, how it sells poor bliss
                                                              For proud despair!
                                                              But we, though soon they fall,
                                                              Survive their joy, and all
                                                              Which ours we call.

                                                              Whilst skies are blue and bright,
                                                              Whilst flowers are gay,
                                                              Whilst eyes that change ere night
                                                              Make glad the day;
                                                              Whilst yet the calm hours creep,
                                                              Dream thou--and from thy sleep

                                                              Then wake to weep.

                                                                                   --------Percy Bysshe Shelley

    Postmodern Feminism

    Like the postmodernist position…positionality rejects the perfectibility, externality of truth. Instead the positional knower conceives of truth as situated and partial. Truth is situated in that it emerges from particular involvements and relationships. These relationships, not some essential or innate characteristic of the individual, define the individual’s perspective and provide the location for meaning, identity, and political commitment”.

                                                                                                                       Katherine Bartlett, 'Feminist Legal Methods’ (1990) 103 Harvard Law Review 829

     

    In seeking an appropriate feminist epistemology Katherine Bartlett argues for what she calls ‘positionality’ which recognizes the contingency of values and knowledge. Even the political commitment of feminists is provisional and requires critical evaluation and revision.

    Your Duty is to Your Heart

    There is no duty to satisfy or enlighten others. The only duty is to oneself, to always be true and kind no matter what others said or did. Do not explain. There is no need to explain. No one really cares what is right and what is wrong. Most of them just hold the attitude of watching a show, the show you do not need to be part of it. Too many people in this world are good at playacting, turning back into white. It does not matter. Let them play.

    Meditation

    The more attention one puts on other persons, the less one uses to meditate.

    The attention I am talking about here means the unnecessary discussion, judgment and unfair animadversion of the outside world.

    In a strict sense, the world is not a visible thing and we can never see the whole picture. All we see may only be a very small part.

    People have different experiences and abilities and therefore have different ways of thinking. What one should know is that every existence has its reason. The more mature one is, the more understanding one would give to the external existence. It makes no sense to give our own interpretations to the things we never comprehend fully, then treat as if it is the eternal truth and law. On the contrary, it would make more sense to scrutinize one's own internal existence. Stay guarded from beast of arrogance and never let the river of curiosity run dry, for there is always much to learn, to see and to discover.

    Let the Past be the Past

    Everything is resolvable as long as one sees the truth, even though the truth is ugly.

    The most dangerous thing is hiding or excusing what has happened to let the truth sink in the blue water.

    Self-delusion is a kind of suicide, mentally, which does not help at all and is very harmful.

    Step back, see the truth without using one’s eyes, then take it or leave it.

    No matter what to choose, one should let the past be the past. As long as one can try and wish to try, there is hope and there is future.

    Lie

    A Lie is "a false statement deliberately presented as being true".
    Sometimes, people are accustomed to lying to themselves.
    When that becomes usual, they “honestly believe” that they were telling the truth, nothing but the "truth".

    This is, however, the most intolerable lie.

    Unreasoned & Unreasonableness

    Unreasoned "Thinking" with reliance on pure feelings and a total absence of any reason or logic altogether.

    Unreasonableness: Errouneous and absurd consequences resulting from flawed logic.

    ---It’s unreasonable to argue with the unreasoned.

    悲观.执着.超脱

    “在人生中还有比成功和幸福更重要的东西,那就是凌驾于一切成败福祸之上的豁达胸怀。在终极的意义上,人世间的成功和失败,幸福和灾难,都只是过眼烟云,彼此并无本质的区别。当我们这样想时,我们和我们的身外遭遇保持了一个距离,反而和我们的真实人生贴得更紧了,这真实人生就是一种既包容又超越身外遭遇的丰富的人生阅历和体验。”
    “入世再深,也不忘记它的限度。这样一种执着有悲观垫底,就不会走向贪婪。有悲观垫底的执着,实际上是一种超脱。”
     
    --------周国平
     
    人的一生,既是实在,又是虚无。很多人站在两个极端。悲观的人,视其为‘零’,堕入深渊;执着的人视其为‘全’,倾力占有。用周先生的话说,两者“均未得智慧的真髓”。但人的一生,或许正是寻求两者平衡的过程,只是,智慧永远掌握在少数人的手里。

    Hurt

    所有的事,都有因果的联系。
    被伤害了,也许不应该抱怨,因为是我们,给了别人伤害自己的机会。
    所以,有的人用冷漠武装自己;
    有的人,一如既往地手无寸铁
    冷漠的人被自己的盔甲磨伤,没有武器的人被往来的刀剑刺伤。
    这世上,也许没有一个人是完好的。

    Forget and forgive

    她对她说,很多事情不是你所看到那么美好。你可以选择遗忘。很多时候,我选择遗忘,不是因为冷漠,而是因为无力改变。
     
    可是,她始终没有学会遗忘,也始终没有能力改变,别人,或是自己。在回忆的后视镜里,她看到自己越走越远。
     
    一个悲观却不冷漠,对这世界始终抱着一丝幻想的人,最终只能选择决绝地处理自己。
     
    时间不会治愈这一切。

    Oceans Deep

    Even though the world I'm in
    The perfect pitch this way appears
    The greatest pressures of my sin don't disappear

    althrough and alive I had so few
    The wishing, well I wished for you
    Then I look to see myself within it all

    My oceans deep my rivers wide
    The strangers weep at pleasures side
    Oh why do I not see the only one unseen

    I’m lost without it seems so true
    You left from here from me to you
    Well my heart is broken
    I'm trying can't you see, can't you see

    My oceans deep my rivers wide
    The strangers weep at pleasures side
    Oh why do I not see the only one unseen

    In death the many becomes one; in life the one becomes many.
     
    That which ends in exhaustion is death, but the perfect ending is in the endless.

    浣溪沙

    谁念西风独自凉。萧萧黄叶闭疏窗。沉思往事细思量。被酒莫惊春睡重,赌书消得泼茶香。当时只道是寻常。

    Forever and ever

    一切的一切,都是可以克服的
    于是,从此,相信爱也好,不再相信也好,
    一个人,坦坦荡荡,便没有什么好怕的
    我们是自由的
    所以一切都是美好的
    所以不再有任何事情可以伤害到我们
     
    真正的爱,有过一次也就够了
    每个人的心中,都有一片“永不”之地,没有人可以触碰
    在那里,我们可以忘记痛苦,忘记过去,忘记那些人的坏
    永不永不说再见。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

    Painted Skin

    "我爱你,但我已经有佩蓉了。”
    这句话一点也不让我感动。
    他一直强调他对她的忠贞,甚至愤怒地认为她并不信任他,不相信他可以做得到
    然而,努力用理智压抑情感,却一次次惊醒在那些美丽诱惑的梦境中,他其实一直看得到自己的心
    最终,他还是说了这句“我爱你”
    看似他对妖有情,对妻有义,但在这场感情中,每个人都输得很惨烈。。。。。。。。。。

    Angel

    Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
    for a break that would make it okay
    there‘s always one reason to feel not good enough and it‘s hard at the end of the day
    I need some distraction oh beautiful release
    memory seeps from my veins
    let me be empty and weightless and maybe
    I‘ll find some peace tonight in the arms of an angel
    fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear
    you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
    you‘re in the arms of the angel
    may you find some comfort there

    so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn
    there‘s vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting
    you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack
    it don‘t make no difference escaping one last time
    it‘s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
    this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
    in the arms of an angel
    fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear
    you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie

    you‘re in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here

    Live quietly

    幸福特别短暂。人生更多的状态是平淡和平淡中的等待。
    不争第一。但凡第一都是在跟别人的竞争中得到的,而一个人如果总在盯着别人,心态便不会健康平衡。很多人一辈子只做两件事情,看别人过和过给别人看。

    deceive

    想要了解一个人,可以看他的眼睛,但千万不要去读他那些所谓的自白,因为文字,最具欺骗性。。。。。。
