There is no way of life as carefree as a Taoist ought to be.

There is no philosophy that emphasizes morality as much as Confucianism.

There is no value as important as filial piety.

There is no novel as captivating as the Romance of the three kingdoms.

There is no drink as refreshing as the Wu Long tea.

There is no history as glorious and vibrant as the 5000 years of history of China.

There is no language as beautiful as the Chinese language.

there is nothing more that i can say........

What can be worse than not being urself ? What can be as terrible as bottling up ur emotions within u and refuse to come clean with urself? I have not heard a man who has not been happy. And so I embrace happiness and be happy. A happy man shall be as happy as lark, to wear a smile on his face and to not forget to drink to add to his joys. I have not heard of a man who has not been sad. So I embrace sadness. I become disenchanted, put on a long face, face disappointment and not to forget to down my sorrows with some good wine. One's emotions is about conflicts and contradictions, unfathomable and enigmatic to speak of. It is like a ocean wave, at its high point and reaches it low point. There are moments of happiness and sadness. When a man is happy, he should be happy and when a man is sad, he ought to be sad. A man can be happy and sad. So can a happy man turn sad the next moment, vice verse. And when we ask for happiness in our lives, I wonder what it is? Is it about getting the right job? Is it about finding a life partner and settling down to start a family? Is it about doing the things u want to do? Is it about having the freedom to do what u want to do? Is it about helping the needy so that u will find satisfaction from it? Is it about hanging out with ur friends? Is is about drinking good tea or wine? Is it about going to places u would like to go? So is sadness about not getting all these things? I wonder.

Deviation from the course

As easy as it can be for one to enjoy solitude life, so is it easy for one to feel lonely and sad when spending time alone. Last nite, I went through a period of sadness of emptiness. So my thoughts run wild and I had to compare myself to others and felt bad about myself. I felt that my life was wasting away as I haven't accomplish much in life. I was so upset that I couldn't sleep till 4am. This morning when i woke up, I was feeling as bad. Then, I stop thinking, and tell myself that I'm in my bedroom. There's nothing else. Stop thinking. I stop all my bad thoughts and I feel ok once again. I'm more convinced now that I have been living in my thoughts too much and hadn't got much out of this real world. Stop thinking and start living!
