The One Who Follows the Beautiful Witch's Traces

May 3: The One Who Follows the Beautiful Witch's Traces

I am still talking about the topic of Kongzi and Laozi. Because, these two historical elders are truly too important to Zhongguo, and even to the world. Their words and deeds, like Jesus, whether in the past, present, or future, constantly influence the world, changing the world. They are unprecedented, with no one before or after them. The emergence of Kongzi and Laozi is, in the dark, a deliberate arrangement by Heaven, not accidental or coincidental, but inevitable.

This is just as Laozi himself said: some things, before heaven and earth were produced, Heaven had already arranged. No one can change it; no one can alter it.

Fate, how can fate be changed?

Fate, Laozi believes; Kongzi also believes.

Kongzi said, 'Life and death are fated; wealth and honor are from Heaven.' Kongzi's words 'Life and death are fated; wealth and honor are from Heaven,' although opposed by many, still are being fulfilled among the great and small wise beings on Earth. ——

Fate

Could it be that even money cannot withstand you?

People without money will die.

Will people with money also die?

This, I truly do not understand.

What I understand.

Just this time.

It is passing minute by minute.

Consuming our lives.

Life is merely a process.

A process from existence to non-existence.

Or a process from non-existence to existence.

We just walk.

In this process.

We came with empty hands.

Then again

Left with empty hands.

Then how shall we spend it?

Every minute and second of life.

Only then can it be beneficial to the world?

"Dear brothers, ah

Do not follow evil.

Just follow good."

In this world, there are many people who do not accept Kongzi's words about fate. They often are unwilling to be arranged by fate (among these many people, also including me, this tiny sentient being, I am also one of those unwilling). They seem to want to change the fate's route arranged by Heaven, and walk their own path: 'Besides oneself, do not believe in others; respect others, also respect oneself; besides one's own likes, do not like other things; besides one's own eternity, do not hope for anything else.'

This is all just one's wishful thinking; human thought makes God laugh. But, it is using one's own thought to make God laugh. Because God laughing is a good thing. If God laughs, He will bless us; if God blesses us, then fate will change.

We are using our own thought to invite God's laughter.

The outstanding poet and thinker Gibran once said such words to people, he said: "Life is a beautiful witch, enticing our hearts, intoxicating our souls, and filling our existence with promises. If she delays her promises, she kills our patience; if she fulfills her promises, she again awakens our boredom."

Of course, Gibran's words are not trustworthy. Although they contain philosophy, yet that philosophy contains a hint of sophistry: life indeed is a beautiful witch; this witch, constantly changing her patterns and colors, bewitches our hearts. Intoxicates our souls. Under her temptation and intoxication, we follow her footsteps, passing through thorns and misty obstacles, to pursue her traces..........
