Seven times have I despised my soul.

“中庸不是唯唯诺诺、脚踩两只船，而是不过分、守中、不偏激、不站队。…中国要是一旦再次走入站队并互相攻击的话，中国改革开放几十年的成功都会陆续被蚕食。”
摘自白岩松在重庆西西弗书店《白说》见面会的讲话。时间推算看来应该是5年前的视频了吧，但是现在看来却是一阵见血的讽刺了如今社会上的一些问题。5/17/2020

“宽恕可以让我们的灵魂不再畏惧”

“既自以心为形役，奚惆怅而独悲？悟已往之不谏，知来者之可追。实迷途其未远，觉今是而昨非。”

“我的幻想
是一群萤火虫
活跃的火花
闪耀在 黑暗里”

“羽毛未丰的小鸟想着追寻极度的自由与解放，
尽管一次又一次跌落中他没能成为雄鹰，
但是他仍记得当年的追求并不打算放弃。”

“那些令你悲伤的一切，也就是你所喜欢的一切。”
“沉默的鱼潜入深海中，借以波涛表达他的浪漫主义。”

The first time I start to read poetry is when my about twelve years old.  Since then, I have read many of Tagore’s poetry anthology. Every time when I feel lonely,  poetry is just like a remedy for me. Poetry can represent one’s sentiment. I write this post to record every day my feeling. Meanwhile, hope I would get something new when I reread it after ten years.

“Stary birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.”

“Seven times have I despised my soul:
The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height.
The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled.
The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy.
The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.
The fifth time when she forbode for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength.
The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.
And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue.”
