随想III

一段短语名为·机会·:人一生有许多的机会,只是看自己是否能把握住,珍惜眼前所看到的,满足目前所拥有的。我们常常为了一个机会,而错失了更多的机会。然而,不是每个人都想要这种机会的,某种程度上,自己不削所谓的机会。
 
有一段文字名为·距离·:世界上最遥远的距离, 不是生与死,而是我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你。世界上最遥远的距离,不是我就站在你面前,你却不知道我爱你,而是明明知道彼此相爱,却不能在一起。世界上最遥远的距离,不是明明知道彼此相爱,却不能在一起,而是明明无法抵挡这股想念,却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里。世界上最遥远的距离,不是明明无法抵挡这股想念,却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里,而是用自己冷默的心,对爱你的人掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠
很多人肯定读过,而我是从某个人口中得知的,很真, 且很悲; 虽很土,但不觉中仍被这些俗气的文字所感动,或许是对往事的提调吧,让自己偶尔觉得似曾年轻过,似曾被深爱过,也似曾感动过。刹那惊人的发现,过往的热情已被腐蚀,剩下的只有既灰之木,莫非这就是成长的代价?
 
《决心》提及:人的一生有许多难以取舍,困惑不已的琐事所纠缠着,这时所需的就是断然的舍弃与明智的抉择,唯一会限制我们的,是我们自己的决心。
它让我在许久之前就灰化了这种决心,所以也就不存在两难舍弃的境地, 因为剩下的只有明智的抉择。
 
有人说,别等到错过才后悔,别等到失去才想挽回。其实,最长久的爱是不能依附着长相厮守而存在的,往往后悔和失去是留住那瞬间深情地最好的办法。所以,我不说后悔,不说挽回。
 
我说,不需要永恒的爱,因为没有长久的情;不遗忘曾经的爱,因为有无限的感受力!终于懂得自己要的是哪种形式的爱情,刚刚醒悟到自己未必需要平庸的爱情而是爱的智慧。为了能展望数十亿光年远的目的地。

王者

非王不王, 是王非王, 王者不王是王, 先称王者不一定是王, 不称王者未必非王, 非王而王, 非王也! This quote leads me to think of millions of things, which also confirms what I have believed. If anything challenges my self-esteem, I should and would follow ideas of a rational being. The cluster of his instructions is the right path leading to the enlightenment.

繁琐的世事, 杂乱的思绪, 要理一理了

人总是时常恍惚而踌躇不前,近日似乎亦有此症状, 所以甚为焦虑;生死论频频添置于心,犹如色泽斑驳的动物,胆怯,彷徨与不安交杂于一身,自己饱食长眠一番。莫非妄念浮现,寂定之心不达,由是起疲乏,耳根闻乱声,定慧均双失。告知,告知,若欲断苦疾,应反照心念,心念一转,因缘则转,苦念便止。即便遍知常言之八苦(求不得苦, 爱别离苦, 怨憎会苦, 生苦, 老苦, 病苦, 死苦 与五蕴炽盛苦), 若不能有寂定之心,则苦海不见边,生死流不断。外界信息所取的手段可多样,只为放弃我执,避除四相之分,断除覆心之碍以至能存于彼岸。尘世中的我们,犹如虚空中的尘埃,虚空有无随尘埃而动,真理有无随我们的觉性,来匆匆,去匆匆,目的地变不停,视为客栈旅客,不来不去为主人,该流还是留,是客还是主,不能混淆客主, 这就是释加牟尼以‘客生’来阐释‘觉性’的道理。由此,体悟主人在哪里是我们不能忘而必做之事。
 
长眠过久,身心重如砣,该醒了,要睁眼了... ... ...
 The follow-up is a number of songs of Andrea Bocelli, and I hope they might bring my readers some delights.

Worthy of a glimpse

Here are some interesting stuffs I came across when doing my internet journey, enjoy!


习惯一


别指望谁能推着你走  如果你不向前走,谁又会推你走呢?因此,积极主动的态度,是实现个人愿景的原则。我们常说:“我不会……,因为遗传……”、“我迟到,因为……”、“我的计划没完成,因为……”我们总是在找借口或是抱怨,在不满中消耗自己的生命。而人类与动物的区别正是人能主动积极地创造、实现梦想,来提升我们的生命品质。所以,有效能的人士为自己的行为及一生所做的选择负责,自主选择应对外界环境的态度和应对方法;他们致力于实现有能力控制的事情,而不是被动地忧虑那些没法控制或难以控制的事情;他们通过努力提升效能,从而扩展自身的关切范围和影响范围。积极的心态能让你拥有“选择的自由”。我们虽然不能控制客观环境,但我们可以选择对客观现实做何种反应。积极的涵义不仅仅是采取行动,还代表对自己负责的态度。个人行为取决于自身,而非外部环境,并且人有能力也有责任创造有利的外在环境。



习惯二


忠诚于自己的人生计划  我们经常在人生的道路上迷失方向,因徘徊和迷途消耗了生命。而高效能的人懂得设计自己的未来。他们认真地计划自己要成为什么人,想做些什么,要拥有什么,并且清晰明确地写出,以此作为决策指导。因此,“以终为始”是实现自我领导的原则。这将确保自己的行为与目标保持一致,并不受其他人或外界环境的影响。我们将这个书面计划称之为“使命宣言”。任何一个存在的社会组织都需要“使命宣言”,任何一个企业或个人也不例外。“使命宣言”需要阶段性地评估以及持续修正和改良。确立目标后全力以赴,就是我们所说的在正确的时间做正确的事,并把事情做对。为什么很多人成功了反而感到失落?许多人在埋头苦干时,尚未发掘人生的终极目标,只是为忙碌而忙碌着,未曾洞悉自己心灵深处的所欲所求,也不曾审视过自己的人生信条:你到底要做什么?什么是你生命中最重要的?你生活的重心是什么?只有确立了符合价值观的人生目标,才能凝聚意志力,全力以赴且持之以恒地付诸实现,才有可能获得内心最大的满足。



习惯三


选择不做什么更难每个人的时间都是有限的,所以要做重要的事,即你觉得有价值并对你的生命价值、最高目标具有贡献的事情;要少做紧急的事,也就是你或别人认为需要立刻解决的事。消防队的最大贡献应是做好防火工作,而不只是忙于到处救火。因此,“要事第一”是自我管理的原则。有效能的人只会有少量非常重要且需立即处理的紧急、危机事件,他们将工作焦点放在重要但不紧急的事情上,来保持效益与效率的平衡。“有效管理”是把最重要的事放在第一位的重点管理。先由领导决定什么是重点后,自己掌握住重点并时刻把它放在第一位,以免被感觉、情绪或冲动左右。要想集中精力于当前的要务;就必须先排除次要事情的牵绊,要勇于说“不”。



习惯四


远离角斗场的时代  懂得利人利己的人,把生活看作一个合作的舞台,而不是角斗场。一般人遇事多用二分法:非强即弱,非胜即败。其实,世界给了每个人足够的立足空间,他人之得并非自己之失。因此,“双赢思维”成为人们运用于人际领导的原则.我们从小就参与各种比赛、考试,培养了一种你赢我输、你死我活的竞争心态。试想一下,谁又甘心在竞赛中认输呢?树立双赢思维就是要在人际交往中不断寻求互利,以达成双方都满意并致力于合作的协议计划。具有双赢思维的人,往往有三种个性品格:正直、成熟和富足心态。他们忠于自己的感受、价值观和承诺;有勇气表达自己的想法及感觉,能以豁达体谅的心态看待他人的想法及体验;相信世界有足够的发展资源和空间,人人都能共享。利人利己观念的形成是以诚信、成熟、豁达的品格为基础的。豁达的胸襟源于个人崇高的价值观与自信的安全感,所以不怕与人共名声、共财势,从而肯尝试无限的可能性,充分发挥创造力和宽广的选择空间。



习惯五


换位思考的沟通 如果一位眼科医生为病人配眼镜,他先摘下自己的眼镜让病人试戴,其理由是:“我已经戴了10多年,效果很好,就给你吧,反正我家里还有一副。”那么,谁都知道这是行不通的。如果医生还说:“我戴得很好,你再试试,别心慌。”在病人看到的东西都扭曲了的同时,医生还反复说:“只要有信心,你一定能看得到。”那就真叫人哭笑不得了。我们常说遇事要将心比心。因此,“知彼解己”是交流的原则。这位医生尚未诊断就开处方,谁敢领教?但与人沟通时,我们常犯这种不分青红皂白、妄下断语的毛病。因此我必须强调:“了解他人”与“表达自我”是人际沟通不可缺少的要素。首先要了解对方,然后争取让对方了解自己,才是进行有效人际交流的关键,要改变匆匆忙忙去建议或解决问题的倾向。要培养设身处地的“换位”沟通习惯。欲求别人的理解,首先要理解对方。人人都希望被了解,也急于表达,但却常常疏于倾听。众所周知,有效的倾听不仅可以获取广泛的准确信息,还有助于双方情感的积累。当我们的修养到了能把握自己、保持心态平和、能抵御外界干扰和博采众家之言时,我们的人际关系也就上了一个台阶。



习惯六


1+1可以大于2 统合综效是对付阻碍成长与改变的最有力途径。助力通常是积极、合理、自觉、符合经济效益的力量;相反,阻力则消极、不合逻辑、情绪化和不自觉。不设法消除阻力的后果就等于向弹簧施加作用力,结果还是要反弹。如果将双赢思维、换位沟通与统合综效原则整合,不仅可以化解阻力,甚至可以化阻力为助力,“统合综效”就是创造性合作的原则。集思广益的合作威力无比。许多自然现象显示:全体大于部分的总和。不同植物生长在一起,根部会相互缠绕,土质会因此改善,植物比单独生长更为茂盛;两块砖头所能承受的力量大于单独承受力的总和。这些原理也同样适用于人,但也有例外。只有当人人都敞开胸怀,以接纳的心态尊重差异时,才能众志成城。



习惯七


过着身心平衡的生活 身心和意志是我们达成目标的基础,所以有规律地锻炼身心将使我们能接受更大的挑战,静思内省将使人的直觉变得越来越敏感。当我们平衡地在这两方面改善时,则加强了所有习惯的效能。这样我们将成长、变化,并最终走向成功。人生最值得投资的就是磨练自己。生活与工作都要K自己,因此自己是最值得珍爱的财富。工作本身并不能给人带来经济上的安全感,而具备良好的思考、学习、创造与适应能力,才能使自己立于不败之地;拥有财富,并不代表有永远的经济保障,拥有创造财富的能力才真正可K。以上这七个习惯是相辅相成的。前三个习惯在于我们本身,确立目标就要全力以赴,着重于如何进行个人修炼,由依赖转向独立,实现“个人成功”;第四、五、六个习惯,即建立共赢、换位沟通、集思广益,都将促进团队沟通与合作;而第七个习惯涵盖了前六个,督促我们从身心开始完善。通过培养这些习惯,我们可以循序渐进地获得实质性的变革,成为真正的高效能人士。

1st Nov!!

一晃眼,十一月了!
眼看自己活了近26个年头了,用劲的想, 许多的回忆均已枉然!
生活涂抹了激情,则重于生机之质, 他人众说纷纭,焉知其深意?故此,闻孤感孤则登于高山,非出自我本意;引而后发,意不如初,唯变所存,存, 能否?不知似知,足行天下,无知而知,欣慰不止!
 
If I am blind in some ways, I would have to be wise in some other ways, wouldnt I? I saw it but chose to neglect it, then I would have to forgo the unknown and expect the other alternative unknown, didnt I? No one could attempt to conceive the idea that once lived and embedded in one's mind. Nevertheless, it is there, I know it but on one else. While enjoying the ambiguous pain, I have my freedom; while trapped in desperation, I create the most powerful weapon; while looking into that mirror, I experience the state of being alive and emotion; while glimpsing at you, I am reminded of the laws of nature; while feeling different forms of existence, I abscond from the obsession; while traced back to the past, I remember you. In the end, I am all of the world and the world has gone through the entire me. I eventually and entirely enable to conceive the truth of the void -- the flip side of the mass is the void, reflected in numerous ways of the life.

随想!

越大越迂腐,试图抚平那怨恨,那说不明道不明之懊恼,那种心扉之愁;可曾留恋世间事,答亦非答已失意, 不欲见人, 亦不欲语,频频欲泪,怎知释怀! 命运自定,焉人能搏?花木气壤,其然自得,悠悠飘移,懦懦犹沉,久久逝浮,传方无止,隐而立功, 只愿终日随它去,生在逍遥于济贫!
 
佛门禁地亦非禁,似戒似空,非全然!自有缘人闻其味,莫怕空戒非踏此,顿悟寥寥引连绵,知知非知入境中, 常态何为偶然, 莫非佛缘?
 
瘸桑宝钗莫生恨,博爱久而存无息,足行万里求那理,此生来世不进来!
 
世间太凄凉,只因博爱少而怜,一己私情断文明。。。
 
或许,这可能就是世事在时空概念上的变迁之原理吧?
 
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

As before, I lead myself to immerse in listening to music, undoubtedly, those types I have been appealing to. Although many of them that were brilliantly sung and lasted to the present time are expressed in the name of love rather than the other alternative ways, it would always be the same that the feeling led by the songs can substantially be diverse. Over here, one of the best lycrics singers is Barry Manilow, among whose music, 'Can't smile without you' and 'Lonely together' are pretty good ones. For those lyrics fans, I guess you would fancy them too. Among millions of crowds, no single mind seems to be able to share an exact identitical mentality but a similar one. Presumably, we as a only creature with the mind must feel lonely sometime and some ways. The fatal illness of us is often assoicated with the mind as the latter is our souls, isnt it? I am no longer afraid of staying alone nor living alone, rather, the threat is deviated from the failfure of idea transmissions. Since the human survival partly emerges from our capacity of sharing ideas, what if one day such a type of community activity creased? I would put the answer 'the death of soul', followed by the arise of philsophical zombies.

I dont know what sort of world it would be if there isnt any solid beliefs about anything, am I approaching to this status of the mind, I seem to guess so... 

Lonely Together  


Your eyes are sad eyes Mine are too
It doesn't take too much to see
What we've been through
You lost your baby
And me the same
Ain't it true how love's a hurtin' game

Could I have this dance
May I be so bold
It's just my arms are empty
And the night is so cold

Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone

A heart that's hurtin's
Not hard to see
I guess he promised you the world
Like she did me
But dry your eyes now
You'll be just fine
We can drown our achin' hearts
in this glass of wine

Well I hate to say
What's done is done
It's just two can ease the pain
Much better than one

大房间

搬到新住处,似大厅一般大的房间都可以当小毛孩的玩所了。 一齐并列的古英式窗外正视着一颗连体的大树,至于是怎样的名字与品种,也就不知了。一张双人床的左侧是英国人喜用的火炉小门,在那凸出的一个大台阶上铺上一张苏格兰格式的红毛毯,自己匍匐在上,拨动着屏幕中毫无头绪的鼠标,不时提起小杯, 品尝着惯喝的英式奶茶, 口咬着瑞士的曲奇饼干,有那么点犹哉!
 
淡忘了过往似有若干世纪的故事,与上辈子有些因缘的人也若近亦若离了,总是以无感可叹而告终。是自己在人生的路途上走的太远还是太快了;好像也不太清楚了;这种感觉莫非是迷失自己目标的提示标?还是自己对自己现在所做的决定不够坚定。。。
 
太静的夜晚, 让人毛骨悚然,一向独来独往的自己也觉得那么的点凉,于是乎,在灵魂半落失的刹那,以聆听古典音乐的方式助充了自己的胆量,缓解了踌躇不安的心。
 
不安的心态,恍惚的神情,无力的气点;
 
希望有一天能去有着美妙旋律的Jazz的那一间酒店来品尝原味的海鲜佳肴;
希望有一天能去有着宏伟古老的Theater去听一场Hungarian Dances: No. 5 和voice of spring;
很久之前说的,好像一直没有机会实现, 我还是等一等; 也好,也可以先学好交谊舞后再去,或许, 那时天时地利人和均具备了。

Oh, My Dear !

好久未能与执友谈天说地,都走了,能做的只有不同空间间交流; 自己知道,他们没有淡忘我,我也没有! 然而,离别许久,种种思念早埋于脑后,没有朋友,没有挚爱, 更没有生命之激情。
 
自从不久前贵子飘洋过海来看我,往日之情的点点滴滴依依浮落于眼帘,方才感到世上似乎有那么点人情气;网络上传来甜蜜心窝的话语也好久未能点触到;是呀, 太久没有温故自己心底那股埋没之喜悦; 见到面了,也不知说些什麽, 除了傻笑,没有别的。
 
贵子让我想起了很多不应该想的人与物, 一言难尽,挂怀无止;在酒吧里,我们回顾着另一个时空所发生的一切, 好想回到过去,能给自己再一次机会改写心中至今唯一忏悔之过! 想着,
 
Katie's 'Blame It On The Moon' came into play in my mind,
"Gonna blame it on the moon, Didn't want to fall in love again so soon. I was fine, feeling strong, Didn't want to fall in love with anyone. Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt, I'll blame it on the moon 'Cause it's not my fault; I didn't think I'd this would happen so soon ... I was happy to be free Didn't think I'd give myself so easily. Guilty feelings in the night As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right..."
 
其实,此时此刻的自己不知所言为何意! 凝视昔日知友之脸庞, 犹如观看过往之老影片,一伸手,幕幕场景挥发于不知不觉中,一开口,字字句句迷失于本意中;此时,
 
Andy Williams' "moon river" appeared from the remote
 
"Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day oh dream maker you heart breaker wherever you're going I'm going our way two differs off to see the world there's such a lot of world to see we're after the same rainbow's end waiting round the bend my huckleberry friend moon river and me"
 
如邓丽君的‘月亮代表我的心’一般,月亮真的能带我们述达感悟之言吗?好假,但我们还是用它, 而某些人却假惺惺的爱说最爱此首歌, 太荒谬!I DESPISE ...
 
观天明了,人生一个仙人洞,无限风光在险峰!去或留,自在于心中!

A delightful acquaintance or not!

Down somewhere, there was sth arousing one's interest buried alive in the deep ocean. Sitting there and chatting with a friend as a part of the daily routine, a random turn made an acquaintance with one 's profile. How delightful it was !
 
Remember his fined voice, beautiful skin, charming look, lovely character and gentleman behaviour... ...
Today, all these qualities have just been reflected on another being one has and will not known , yet, such qualities are unforgettable forever!
 
On the fimilar street, again, a profile that seems somewhat familar but that much so has arisen up the sight. One stopped and peeped at that object, and then left as if there was nothing ever there!
 
One knows that it is just a matter of time as those passed.
 
Whether it is an illsusion , things always chang their form over time but appear to be identical to those one has been dreaming of.
 
One  is used to assume that there were not many but at least some certain things belonging to one, one time this year, the truth has been revealed that it was just a misconception. Since then, the heart completely sunk down the bottom of the ocean. One's heart was hurt, the words were little, and nor could any reasoning be resumed. One now realised a very true fact that nothing can ever be reliable. One has to fully depend on oneself, phychisally and emotionally.
 
Never be overthrown by others but my own destiny
Never be conquered by tears but my own melancholy
Never be beaten by  others but my own indolence
Never be disappointed by others but my own illusion
Never be abandoned by others but my own insistence
Never be hurt by others but my own misconception
 
Once having understood two contrasting facets of one view, then  one can stand one's feet solidly on the floor of one's destiny in one's life span.
 
lOVE TO ALL HUMAN  BEING FOR SYMPATHY... ...

Phonetics of agony

One seems somewhat to experience a difficult of generating a positive view towards the world, or human exactly. Why there are such a vast majority of people immersing themselves in envying others by doing some immoral and uncivilised things to hurt those having done nothing harmful to her or him. One therefore traced it back to the inital cause, which are "envy" plus "vanity".  One could do nothing about it, but observe it, what a 'wondful' world it is, is it not?

In a world with no true love, one saw through it ages ago; but when one is facing all these facts jumping in the front the eyes, it seems another matter. If the world is designed to be cold, just let it be, any subtle warmness by illousions  in the names of many kinds, one can resist them, since one understands the reality behind them. But what one should do to tell those so close to one, they are just keeping immersing in the illusions. How can one be supposed to give them a hand to deal with the mess they have caused. One sometimes wish to care for no one, and leads one's own life with no attachment on anyone  on this planet.

 

one used to have a bundle of dreams, but all are gone, gone to a place called 'heaven', what is the most depressing is doing something that has to be done for responsibility. Neither love nor much ?? could ever meet my needs, since one has no faith in them, but acting on it as a human. One has already become a zombie with no similarity to a human's inner needs.

One tries hard to avoid as little loathing as possible, yet, one is already half agony and half struggle. Sometimes, even wish humanity to extinct.

===============================================

The Vanity of Human Wishes

by Samuel Johnson

Let observation with extensive view,
Survey mankind, from China to Peru;
Remark each anxious toil, each eager strife,
And watch the busy scenes of crowded life;
Then say how hope and fear, desire and hate,
O'erspread with snares the clouded maze of fate,
Where wavering man, betrayed by venturous pride,
To tread the dreary paths without a guide;
As treacherous phantoms in the mist delude,
Shuns fancied ills, or chases airy good.
How rarely reason guides the stubborn choice,
Rules the bold hand, or prompts the suppliant voice,
How nations sink, by darling schemes oppressed,
When vengeance listens to the fool's request.
Fate wings with every wish the afflictive dart,
Each gift of nature, and each grace of art,
With fatal heat impetuous courage glows,
With fatal sweetness elocution flows,
Impeachment stops the speaker's powerful breath,
And restless fire precipitates on death.

    But scarce observed the knowing and the bold,
Fall in the general massacre of gold;
Wide-wasting pest! that rages unconfined,
And crowds with crimes the record of mankind,
For gold his sword the hireling ruffian draws,
For gold the hireling judge distorts the laws;
Wealth heaped on wealth, nor truth nor safety buys,
The dangers gather as the treasures rise.

    Let history tell where rival kings command,
And dubious title shakes the madded land,
When statutes glean the refuse of the sword,
How much more safe the vassal than the lord,
Low skulks the hind beneath the rage of power,
And leaves the wealthy traitor in the tower,
Untouched his cottage, and his slumbers sound,
Though confiscation's vultures hover round.

    The needy Traveller, serene and gay,
Walks the wild heath, and sings his toil away.
Does envy seize thee? crush the upbraiding joy,
Increase his riches and his peace destroy,
New fears in dire vicissitude invade,
The rustling brake alarms, and quivering shade,
Nor light nor darkness bring his pain relief,
One shows the plunder, and one hides the thief.

    Yet still the general cry the skies assails
And gain and grandeur load the tainted gales;
Few know the toiling statesman's fear or care,
The insidious rival and the gaping heir.

    Once more, Democritus, arise on Earth,
With cheerful wisdom and instructive mirth,
See motley life in modern trappings dressed,
And feed with varied fools the eternal jest:
Thou who couldst laugh where want enchained caprice,
Toil crushed conceit, and man was of a piece;
Where wealth unloved without a mourner died;
And scarce a sycophant was fed by pride;
Where ne'er was known the form of mock debate,
Or seen a new-made mayor's unwieldy state;
Where change of favorites made no change of laws,
And senates heard before they judged a cause;
How wouldst thou shake at Britain's modish tribe,
Dart the quick taunt, and edge the piercing gibe?
Attentive truth and nature to descry,
And pierce each scene with philosophic eye.
To thee were solemn toys or empty show,
The robes of pleasure and the veils of woe:
All aid the farce, and all thy mirth maintain,
Whose joys are causeless, or whose griefs are vain.

    Such was the scorn that filled the sage's mind,
Renewed at every glance on humankind;
How just that scorn ere yet thy voice declare,
Search every state, and canvass every prayer.

    Unnumbered suppliants crowd preferment's gate,
Athirst for wealth, and burning to be great;
Delusive fortune hear the incessant call,
They mount, they shine, evaporate, and fall.
On every stage the foes of peace attend,
Hate dogs their flight, and insult mocks their end.
Love ends with hope, the sinking statesman's door
Pours in the morning worshiper no more;
For growing names the weekly scribbler lies,
To growing wealth the dedicator flies,
From every room descends the painted face,
That hung the bright palladium of the place,
And smoked in kitchens, or in auctions sold,
To better features yields the frame of gold;
For now no more we trace in every line
Heroic worth, benevolence divine:
The form distorted justifies the fall,
And detestation rids the indignant wall.

    But will not Britain hear the last appeal,
Sign her foes doom, or guard her favorites zeal;
Through freedom's sons no more remonstrance rings,
Degrading nobles and controlling kings;
Our supple tribes repress their patriot throats,
And ask no questions but the price of votes;
With weekly libels and septennial ale,
Their wish is full to riot and to rail.

    In full-blown dignity, see Wolsey stand,
Law in his voice, and fortune in his hand:
To him the church, the realm, their powers consign,
Thro' him the rays of regal bounty shine,
Turned by his nod the stream of honour flows,
His smile alone security bestows:
Still to new heights his restless wishes tower,
Claim leads to claim, and power advances power;
Till conquest unresisted ceased to please,
And rights submitted, left him none to seize.
At length his sovereign frowns - the train of state
Mark the keen glance, and watch the sign to hate.
Where'er he turns he meets a stranger's eye,
His suppliants scorn him, and his followers fly;
Now drops at once the pride of awful state,
The golden canopy, the glittering plate,
The regal palace, the luxurious board,
The liveried army, and the menial Lord.
With age, with cares, with maladies oppressed,
He seeks the refuge of monastic rest.
Grief aids disease, remembered folly stings,
And his last sighs reproach the faith of kings.

    Speak thou, whose thoughts at humble peace repine,
Shall Wolsey's wealth, with Wolsey's end be thine?
Or liv'st thou now, with safer pride content,
The richest landlord on the banks of trent?
For why did Wolsey by the steps of fate,
On weak foundations raise the enormous weight?
Why but to sink beneath misfortune's blow,
With louder ruin to the gulfs below?

    What gave great Villiers to the assassin's knife,
And fixed disease on Harley's closing life?
What murdered Wentworth, and what exiled Hyde,
By kings protected and to kings allied?
What but their wish indulged in courts to shine,
And power too great to keep or to resign?

    When first the college rolls receive his name,
The young enthusiast quits his ease for fame;
Resistless burns the fever of renown,
Caught from the strong Contagion of the Gown;
O'er Bodley's dome his future labours spread,
And Bacon's mansion trembles o'er his head;
Are these thy views? proceed, illustrious youth,
And virtue guard thee to the throne of truth,
Yet should thy soul indulge the generous heat,
Till captive science yields her last retreat;
Should reason guide thee with her brightest ray,
And pour on misty doubts resistless day;
Should no false kindness lure to loose delight,
Nor praise relax, nor difficulty fright;
Should tempting novelty thy cell refrain,
And sloth effuse her opiate fumes in vain;
Should beauty blunt on fops her fatal dart,
Nor claim the triumph of a lettered heart;
Should no disease thy torpid veins invade,
Nor melancholy's phantoms haunt thy shade;
Yet hope not life from grief or danger free,
Nor think the doom of man reversed for thee:
Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes,
And pause awhile from learning to be wise;
There mark what ills the scholar's life assail,
Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.
See nations slowly wise, and meanly just,
To buried merit raise the tardy bust.
If dreams yet flatter, once again attend,
Hear Lydiat's Life, and Galileo's end.

    Nor deem, when learning her lost prize bestows
The glittering eminence exempt from foes;
See when the vulgar 'scaped, despised or awed,
Rebellion's vengeful talons seize on Laud.
From meaner minds, though smaller fines content
The plundered palace or sequestered rent;
Marked out by dangerous parts he meets the shock,
And fatal learning leads him to the block:
Around his tomb let art and genius weep,
But hear his death, ye blockheads, hear and sleep.

    The festal blazes, the triumphal show,
The ravished standard, and the captive foe,
The senate's thanks, the gazette's pompous tale,
With force resistless o'er the brave prevail.
Such bribes the rapid Greek o'er Asia whirled,
For such the steady Romans shook the world;
For such in distant lands the Britons shine,
And stain with blood the Danube or the Rhine;
This power has praise, that virtue scarce can warm,
Till fame supplies the universal charm.
Yet reason frowns on war's unequal game,
Where wasted nations raise a single name,
And mortgaged states their grandsires wreaths regret
From age to age in everlasting debt;
Wreaths which at last the dear-bought right convey
To rust on medals, or on stones decay.

    On what foundation stands the warrior's Pride?
How just his hopes let Swedish Charles decide;
A frame of adamant, a soul of fire,
No Dangers fright him, and no labours tire;
O'er love, o'er force, extends his wide domain,
Unconquered lord of pleasure and of pain;
No joys to him pacific scepters yield,
War sounds the trump, he rushes to the field;
Behold surrounding kings their power combine,
And one capitulate, and one resign;
Peace courts his hand, but spread her charms in vain;
"Think Nothing gained," he cries, "till nought remain,
On Moscow's walls till Gothic standards fly,
And all is mine beneath the polar sky."
The march begins in military state,
And nations on his eye suspended wait;
Stern famine guards the solitary coast,
And winter barricades the realms of frost;
He comes, nor want nor cold his course delay;--
Hide, blushing glory, hide Pultowa's Day:
The vanquished hero leaves his broken bands,
And shows his miseries in distant Lands;
Condemned a needy supplicant to wait,
While ladies interpose, and slaves debate.
But did not chance at length her error mend?
Did no subverted empire mark his end?
Did rival monarchs give the fatal wound?
Or hostile millions press him to the ground?
His fall was destined to a barren strand,
A petty fortress, and a dubious hand;
He left the name, at which the world grew pale,
To point a moral, or adorn a tale.

    All times their scenes of pompous woes afford,
From Persia's tyrant to Bavaria's lord.
In gay hostility, and barbarous pride,
With half mankind embattled at his side,
Great Xerxes comes to seize the certain prey,
And starves exhausted regions in his way;
Attendant flattery counts his myriads o'er,
Till counted myriads sooth his pride no more;
Fresh praise is tried till madness fires his mind,
The waves he lashes, and enchains the Wind;
New powers are claimed, new powers are still bestowed,
Till rude resistance lops the spreading god;
The daring Greeks deride the martial show,
And heap their valleys with the gaudy foe;
The insulted sea with humbler thoughts he gains,
A single skiff to speed his flight remains;
The encumbered oar scarce leaves the dreaded coast
Through purple billows and a floating host.

    The bold Bavarian, in a luckless hour,
Tries the dread summits of Cesarean power,
With unexpected legions bursts away,
And sees defenceless realms receive his sway;
Short sway! fair Austria spreads her mournful charms,
The queen, the beauty, sets the world in arms;
From hill to hill the beacons rousing blaze
Spreads wide the hope of plunder and of praise;
The fierce Croatian, and the wild Hussar,
And all the sons of ravage crowd the war;
The baffled prince in honour's flattering bloom
Of hasty greatness finds the fatal doom,
His foes derision, and his subjects blame,
And steals to death from anguish and from shame.
Enlarge my life with multitude of days,
In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays;
Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know,
That life protracted is protracted woe.
Time hovers o'er, impatient to destroy,
And shuts up all the passages of joy:
In vain the gifts the bounteous seasons pour,
The fruit autumnal, and the vernal flower,
With listless eyes the dotard views the store,
He views, and wonders that they please no more,
Now pall the tasteless meats, and joyless wines,
And luxury with sighs her slave resigns.
Approach ye minstrels, try the soothing strain,
And yield the tuneful lenitives of pain:
No sounds alas would touch the impervious ear,
Though dancing mountains witnessed Orpheus near;
Nor lute nor lyre his feeble powers attend,
Nor sweeter music of a virtuous friend,
But everlasting dictates crowd his tongue,
Perversely grave, or positively wrong.
The still returning tale, and lingering jest,
Perplex the fawning niece and pampered guest,
While growing hopes scarce awe the gathering sneer,
And scarce a legacy can bribe to hear;
The watchful guests still hunt the last offence,
The daughter's petulance, the son's expense,
Improve his heady rage with treacherous skill,
And mould his passions till they make his will.

Unnumbered maladies each joint invade,
Lay siege to life and press the dire blockade;
But unextinguished avarice still remains,
And dreaded losses aggravate his pains;
He turns, with anxious heart and crippled hands,
His bonds of debt, and mortgages of land;
Or views his coffers with suspicious eyes,
Unlocks his gold, and counts it till he dies.

But grant, the virtues of a temperate prime
Bless with an age exempt from scorn or crime;
An age that melts in unperceived decay,
And glides in modest innocence away;
Whose peaceful day benevolence endears,
Whose night congratulating conscience cheers;
The general favorite as the general friend:
Such age there is, and who could wish its end?

Yet even on this her load misfortune flings,
To press the weary minutes flagging wings:
New sorrow rises as the day returns,
A sister sickens, or a daughter mourns.
Now kindred merit fills the sable bier,
Now lacerated friendship claims a tear.
Year chases year, decay pursues decay,
Still drops some joy from withering life away;
New forms arise, and different views engage,
Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage,
Till pitying nature signs the last release,
And bids afflicted worth retire to peace.

    But few there are whom hours like these await,
Who set unclouded in the gulfs of fate.
From Lydia's monarch should the search descend,
By Solon cautioned to regard his end,
In life's last scene what prodigies surprise,
Fears of the brave, and follies of the wise?
From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driveler and a show.

    The teeming mother, anxious for her race,
Begs for each birth the fortune of a face:
Yet Vane could tell what ills from beauty spring;
And Sedley cursed the Form that pleased a king.
Ye nymphs of rosy lips and radiant eyes,
Whom pleasure keeps too busy to be wise,
Whom joys with soft varieties invite
By day the frolic, and the dance by night,
Who frown with vanity, who smile with art,
And ask the latest fashion of the heart,
What care, what rules your heedless charms shall save,
Each nymph your rival, and each youth your slave?
An envious breast with certain mischief glows,
And slaves, the maxim tells, are always foes.
Against your fame with fondness hate combines,
The rival batters, and the lover mines.
With distant voice neglected virtue calls,
Less heard, and less the faint remonstrance falls;
Tired with contempt, she quits the slippery reign,
And pride and prudence take her seat in vain.
In crowd at once, where none the pass defend,
The harmless freedom, and the private friend.
The guardians yield, by force superior plied;
By interest, prudence; and by flattery, pride.
Here beauty falls betrayed, despised, distressed,
And hissing infamy proclaims the rest.

    Where then shall hope and fear their objects find?
Must dull suspense corrupt the flagrant mind?
Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate,
Swim darkling down the current of his fate?
Must no dislike alarm, no wishes rise,
No cries attempt the mercies of the skies?
Enquirer, cease, petitions yet remain,
Which heaven may hear, nor deem religion vain.
Still raise for good the supplicating voice,
But leave to heaven the measure and the choice.
Safe in his power, whose eyes discern afar
The secret ambush of a specious prayer.
Implore his aid, in his decisions rest,
Secure whate'er he gives, he gives the best.
Yet when the sense of sacred presence fires,
And strong devotion to the skies aspires,
Pour forth thy fervors for a healthful mind,
Obedient passions, and a will resigned;
For love, which scarce collective man can fill;
For patience sovereign o'er transmuted ill;
For faith, that panting for a happier seat,
Thinks death kind nature's signal of retreat:
These goods for man the laws of heaven ordain,
These goods he grants, who grants the power to gain;
With these celestial wisdom calms the mind,
And makes the happiness she does not find.

A changed environment can unexpectedly deepen the issues that are embedded under the shadow. Many raised the same issues that I do not want to mention about but have to deal with with a natural and friendly smile.
 
 
Everyone pursues for different dream, I dont know whether it is my fate or my confusion resulted from my thinking and experience. Things that the most like are not those I am committed to while people that the majority avoid are those where I immerse my feeling.
 
Loneliness is not that bad for me since it has another name called quietness  where there is nothing that I am not willing to perceive.
 
不知何由, 唯独爱好短暂之物, 只因其显真, 人人均为恶魔, 而其亦为善者; 就我而言, 暂则善, 久则恶. 善善恶恶无可休, 只依于慧与时, 观中求索,索中得明. 您能明了了吗, 只望莫沉于悲与哀, 因此两者久而久之则为化我界为尘埃, 犹之乎,一朵莲花葬于水底, 孰能不浊.

Brain Surfing

My mind has constantly been in a journey, maybe this place makes me think of sth in a certain way, or , I am really thinking so. Too much signs have made me trace back to that  thought. 
 
Certain things are present with their own striking attractions , and they remain unchanged in my mind over time. The more I think of them, the more they are confirmed to be important to me. I miss it and will never forget it, I know I am leaving it very soon , perhaps, I will never even see this thing  and this does make me somewhat upset. This thing is just too wonderful to  be forgotten, I had it once upon time , but  made a rushy decision from which  I was departed forever. I even have no guts to pick it up again, instead, just eased myself by saying 'go with the flow' . Even, I have tried to avoid coming across it, I once thought that it was such a delightful avoidance, but It was  not my genuine intent. Saying so  and feeling so make no difference in action as I will never re-think of looking at it and picking it up since I clearly know that my having it would lead to my desire to be away from my homwland, which also creates a harsh dilemma  that I cannot afford to take against my responsibilities for others. What should I do about it, nothing apart from sighing with my sorrow in the middle of some nights  or, being sarcastic about myself. In the meantime , I have to endeavour to  seek for a copy of this thing though there is no such a thing with such excellent qualities in the homeland.
 
 
Life  is sometimes a game of choices, isnt it?  you can either be smiling at your choices  or laughing at yourself, nevertheless, it only appears in the form of memories at the end of the day.
 
I was in a market and fancy some fishes, but they wouldnt be alive if I buy them home, so, I have to leave it and merely take a look at them prior to my leaving. This reminds me of a film called 'possession', I am trying to stuff an idea into my mind that it is enough to retain them once upon time , which might make them more attractive, more memoriable and more precious.

Taking over others' suffering!

从未如此绝望,能否凭心入饮此水?
Many cannot understand the logic of suffering for other beings, the following benefits will prevail:
 
  • Our negative karma will be purified
  • Our merit will increase
  • our compassion will become stronger
  • our mind will further be developed so as to bear more  adversity with courage
  • our compassion will eventually be transformed into the universal compassion of a Buddha.

 

Our mind is like an open wound, the existence of sufferings in any forms provide us with enormous chances, thereby if we genuinely realise their intrinsic value and take them on ourselves for others, then, as followed, the wound could be healed up towards the world up there!

Envy 25 mins

sitting here for some hours, I dont know if the mind is still cystal clear, after all, it is a late night or early morning, shall I say.
 
listening to a song from a friend called '25 mins', the sorrow I would have  had in the past no longer seems to arise, which made me question myself, therefore, I as usual start the jounrey of my reasoning. I wish I could be somewhat passionate like I was, yet, it is replaced by an indifferent attitude. If love changes its form over time, then my passion  probably does so as well. I just envy what the singer is eager for, for me, there is nothing there. There seems many things going on in the past, but all of which are too far to be brought to the eyes now; for now, there is nothing worth reflecting, not to mention, remebering.
 
 
"after sometime I finally made my mind, she is the girl and I really want to make her mind, I am reseaching everywhere to find her again, to tell her that I love her and I am so sorry about the things I have done... I miss your kiss, ... against the will, I am going home again and wish me back to the time we were more than friends... " 
 
 
I no longer desire to film all the past, they are like burned paper that we cannot take a tight grasp of , that time blurs the shape and colour, as followed, the remaining is left in the form of scars, overrunning the passion that existed once upon time.
 
 
fortunately, I fully perceive the theorem concerning the relationship bewteen  the gain and the loss, encouraging me to deliberately abandon things in exchange for the primary goal. I am fully committed to my religious belief, and endeavour to comply with the key commandments, with the hope of fulfilling the dream! Against the will, I am abandoning what the most hesitate to give up;
 
--- hope that I know demands a huge scarifice of mine
--- grief that I could build a dream on.

Live with knowing nothing about yourself

Silence means everything,
But no one else can see,
Only you know what it means,
Because you hide it from everyone.

You hide the truth about your life.
Hide your scars with long sleeve shirts.
Tears start to fall down your face,
And you just wipe them away.

You smile like your okay,
And laugh like your not hurt,
Walk around with your head up high,
Just hoping no one will notice its a lie.

You pray everyday that you will die,
Because this world is too much for you to take,
You turn on a sad song,
And cry yourself to sleep.

 

Everyone has got his or her realm full of darkness and sorrow, where one hardly comes across anyone in the same boat, since there is no such an identical boat! But I understand it without no aid of your telling me, I just know about it since I have had an eye on the world, and I perceive it, concenive it, and reflect on it; nothing can be hidden from my eye til one day I do realise that I hide everything from myself, as followed, I am defeated by myself and betrayed by myself. So clear to me, but never be so about my own things! I wonder if I have meaningfully lived for myself?

 

 

I have attempted to be fully engaged in experiencing them, the more, the worse, am I collecting something or verifying the pre-settled thoughts!

Chocolate is sweet or not!

One likes chocolate, she does not, Ooo, she sometimes eats it ...
 
 
She felt like having something sweet, so cut a small piece of chocolate pudding; yet the taste is so werid, it gives no delightful sweet tatste, over sudden, she dropped off the spon, stopped eating it. Chocolate is no longer sweet despite that it used to be for her.
 
 
She wants to shed some tear becasue the chocolate is not sweet, nor is it bitter since she does not like chocolate, then what is the point to have it a long time ago. Then, one knows that she has changed, completely, one does not know what direction she has changed to... she even does not want to know about it, the more one knows, the more drief one would experience, so she simply chose not to keep an eye on it, but does it solve the issues that she would have to deal with and fianalise, or leave it for one's rest of the life.
 
A wrong path has a permanent effect on the taste of chocolate; but she will still keep eating it at least she is apparently eating chocolate, which would counts her as the normal.
 
 
Chocolate is sweet, do you think so , my friends, even you do not leave your messges here, but I know you always read my werid words, sure, I know about you!

悟我

 独坐于此,心情轻快, 争扎许久,欲前难迈,于是乎,停坐一歇,歇而成事,明白矣!
 
好重,好痛,好疲惫,刹那,一语惊醒梦中人;
 
I am wrong  with an attempt to forget things obsessing me due to having always been treating myself as the centre, feeling things by my senses, saying things for the sake of my own, sensing things from my point of view, and expressing the feeling reflecting my own desire; why not viewing this from different perspective, perhaps, other things and beings are the centre, therefore, I conceive the idea that instead of erasing certain things and beings, I should foregt the existence of my own as if I was one of others excluded from the centre, then I will be out of struggle, depression and grief.
 
I could not abandon sth,
because I want to hold myself,
therefore, to achieve the former,
I could try to abandon myself!
 
Oh, my Buddha, I am eventually a being in the whole universe but not only in this human society!
 
All wisdom arises at a surprising moment,  a moment that we can hardly measure by our time measurement;
 
 
雾里看花,似花非花,
万物无形, 无色,无味,亦无情,
故此,空!
 
 
Buddha Bless arrogant beings on this Planet.

陌生

陌生
 
假期归来,疲惫不堪,须问自己,是否快乐,无意回复,何谓于此?空空如也,空空如也!
 
并非怀恨此地,只因无事挂怀,
某些人某些事,孤寂乏味无聊,
遥远可得之心,百步可行之惑,
徘徊于迷惘与困惑间,何以释怀自我?
 
累了,要睡了!

A letter from an unkown woman

 
<<Letter from an unknown woman>>,
 
A woman full of tears said that as I my son has died, our child, now I have no one who I love in this world apart from you, yet, who are you of mine? you have never recognizsed who I am; you walked by me, you always kept pace to walk; I used to think that I could capture you through our child. With his growing up, how his brown is shaped and the gesture when staying quiet exactly looks like you, all of which always reminded me of you; Unfortunately, over a night, he left me, bringing me back to the lonely one, who is even more lonesome than ever. You might know, no, you just approximately feel how deep I have loved you. Yet, who else would bring the white roses to you on your birthday every year? The vast will be put the same place but with the emptiness; just as me, whose weak breathing will fade away. I can no longer carry on writing more words, my dear!Take care...
 
 
This moving film made me sink into a cluster of thoughts, those sorrowful ones... every movement of the woman's feeling and intention reveals the agony beating her to death of the soul.
 
 
Seeing her once, twice, the third time... made no impression in your mind; several acquitances with him are made in the same place at the same time but never recoganise her... not to mention, put her at the centre of his heart...
 
He kept saying I would see you as soon as returning from his missions, but he never did...
 
For her, what does the friendship count? what does the dignity count? Soasfar he asks, she would go to him, even in a tumb, she would still do so. As he had such a mysterious power dragging her to him! At last, he got her letters telling all that happened. He was sitting in the sofa and said nothing... I doubt whether he could feel anything, he think that he is wealthy and knowledgable, which seem to allow him to play around with others; Yes, there are too many people who appearntly look superior to others but their hearts are worthless, worthless and worthless... the material world varnishes the most precious items ...

Asphyxia

 

Much tension has been heighten in a tiny place.

 

If  it was ever a chance to pour out what I could have said, I might have done so, but I am not able to act so.

 

People say, time kills everything, no! It has never been a remedy at all, rather, is a storage place where all meta-goods are located. It was a hole where no bottom can be ever visiable nor reached, the longer the goods stays, the more difficult it is searched for. Hence, the life with the more reminders of the past is more likely to be trapped and manipulated by such a hole. It was a set of genes formulated in a regular pattern whether or not the process is carried out. 

 

The harder steel is, the easier it is snapped;

The darker hair colour is, the more difficult it is dyed;

The softer an item is, the easier it is shaped.

The stronger...., the weaker...

 

 

It was a tub of water, time leaves it with dust, time gives it weight, then it sinks down the bottom of the tub, appears invisible and ferments at last, time is accordingly not a remedy but a potential weapon to exhaust the spirit and weaken the body.

 

Asphyxia is on the way to haunt you.
