359 Chapters, Walking with Love Part Three
My soul drifts on an island similar to where Robinson Crusoe drifted, I attempt to irrigate my own field with my own sweat. I have never had excessive expectations of the world; I only seek the bare minimum of life. All day I live like Lin Daiyu entering Jia Fu's household: I dare not walk an extra step, I dare not utter an extra word.
When I see netizens cursing my work as xy!
I, heartache! vision blur! dizziness!
What's this… who? provoked…?
When I have heartache, vision blur, dizziness, I recall the words of Daoist ancestor Laozi――
………Honor and disgrace bring alarm………Esteem brings great trouble as the body does………What is honor and disgrace?...... Honor is a lower state; gaining it brings alarm………Losing it brings alarm………This is what is meant by honor and disgrace bringing alarm……What is esteem bringing great trouble as the body does?....... The reason I have great trouble is that I have a body………If I had no body………What trouble would I have……………
I am not a disciple of the Dao; Laozi's words, I hear them as seeming true yet false, like falling into five li of mist and haze… The general idea may be: 'Do not listen to the sound of wind through the trees, why not chant and stroll slowly… A single raincoat, let wind and rain do as they will!'
When I have heartache, vision blur, dizziness, a god also is at my ear, saying to me――――
"Therefore, my dear brothers, you must be steadfast, not waver, constantly strive to work for the Lord, for knowing your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
We ought to love each other, walking with love.
Decades ago, Lu Xun said in literary circles that literati should cultivate a civilized atmosphere, because literati walk ahead of civilization; no matter the time, we should remember that my words and deeds are civilized, and he said, 'Insults and threats are certainly not combat.' Some friends will surely… me?
What era was Lu Xun from? How dare one mention him? Not long ago, wasn't it a madman who cursed Lu Xun into utter defeat, worthless?
The land already has talent; Lu Xun is no longer fresh. But, that Robinson Crusoe after all was fresh in that era.
Friend, I have gone off topic again; I only love reading his works, admire his character, because I myself am misunderstood, I think of Lu Xun, again Lu Xun, and I want to have the idea of cursing Lu Xun to achieve…
Friend, I make an inappropriate analogy: we 'are both weary souls at the ends of the earth, meeting need not have known each other before.' These friends will surely say, 'Who and you are what heavenly… person?'
But, even if my analogy is inappropriate, we are all people who take literature as friends; in colloquial terms, those who can read and write. Those who cannot read still know to greet when they meet; those who can read should all the more regulate themselves with civilized words and deeds……
(Please you…… I still have to say……………………………………………?
(Thank you for reading, wishing you daily good luck and good mood!)\
