How nice can be a "symphony of gardens"

One garden is good but not good enough. Two gardens are better, but not better enough.

We need lots of gardens in this planet.

Gardens are like music.  It is a symphony of gardens.

And that is a very nice garden for us to work on.

A symphony is  more than a short piece.

A symphony is the total of music.

When all the people came together.....

They can sing together and dance together to perform the symphony.

It could be the symphony of flowers.

When all the flowers join together, they will create perfume.

Perfume is the total feeling in the mind.

Perfume is more than color.  Perfume is more than touch.  Perform is reaching. Perfume can reach your mind.

But if the mine is closed.......

Then perfume can only be posted.

Perfume can only be a poster in a billboard.

It is completely useless if the mind is closed.

Outsider cannot open the mind.

It is a grand issue in today's world:

Let all minds be opened.

*yes,  it is grand.................

Why the world should be a garden?

 20260320

Why the world should be a garden?

It is an ideal for humans.  Humans can turn a jungle into a garden.

The world cannot be a jungle forever. The world will  change.

Some of the more advanced countries can be a garden first.   And more and more others will join.

It is not necessarily political.

It is only a dream come true.

It is something for humans to work for.  Very few people can believe that this ideal can be real. Because there are wars,   not only in the battlefield,  war is everywhere:  offices and families.

How can anything be done without politics?

How can it be done without the manipulating powers to manage and control everything?

What is essential for the dreams to come true?

Maybe you need governments,  maybe you need armies,  maybe you need work forces.  You need many things to fulfill a dream.

The first thing is not that.

The first thing is that you must have a dream.

The first thing is that you must have a few people to have the same dream.

Do you think it is possible?

Maybe you have a dream already.

Maybe you wish to tell your dream to other people.

Maybe the dream is a possible dream.

Maybe you still remember that song.

"To dream the impossible dream."

I hope everyone can sing that song together.

ref:   " Man of La Mancha"     a famous musical from 1965, based on Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote.

The most famous one song in the movies is "The Impossible Dream" (often called "The Quest"). Other well-known songs from the musical include "Man of La Mancha (I, Don Quixote)" and "Dulcinea."

The main actors in the 1972 film adaptation of Man of La Mancha are:

· Peter O'Toole as Don Quixote / Miguel de Cervantes

· Sophia Loren as Dulcinea / Aldonza

· James Coco as Sancho Panza

· Harry Andrews as The Innkeeper / The Governor

· John Castle as Sanson Carrasco / The Duke

· Ian Richardson as The Padre

· Brian Blessed as Pedro

Note: Peter O'Toole's singing was dubbed by Simon Gilbert, as he was not a singer.

Why the world is a garden, not a prison?

 20260320

Why the world is a garden,  not a prison?

If you are in the garden you will be happy.   Even though you are not a flower, you are the soil in the ground.

And you are more than a garden plant.   Because you have a will,  you can choose your own way.

But before the actual things to choose,  before you realize it is a garden, not a prison,  you need to choose what is your way of living.  

You can choose happiness or you can choose other things.

You can choose to grow together with other trees and flowers,  or you can choose to occupy them, or kill them.

Sometimes it is your education,  it is your background,  it is your culture.   you have no choice.  

Someone had chosen to leave the ruling of the King of the State...

He is free.   And he might need to pay a price.

Yes, nothing is free.   Even freedom is not taken for granted.   Freedom is not free.

People need to fight for it.

The garden is not free.   The garden needs efforts.

The garden needs protection. 

Or else,   the garden will turn itself into a jungle,  again.

What if the magics are real for an evil?

 20260319

What if the magics are real for an evil?

Bad boys have illusions about magic.  When bad boys are staring at you,  they are staring at your inner side.   

Some people will suddenly be alerted by such chilling eyes.  

Are the magics real? 

Can they see through every thing?

The answer is yes.

They can see through everything and they can take and they can rape and they can kill.

It happens all of a sudden.

Few were awared that the evil has just woken up.

It's so fast and it's so sudden that some people has been killed and many things have been taken.

The evil has been here at your front door.

The evil has been here at your inner room.

The world has suddenly become dark.

Dark night has arrived so fast.

What you need to do then?

Don't you need some more time to think and wait?

Light up the lights.

It is your choice.

Won't it be too irritating for the evils?

Ah ha,  its up to you.

(You are the devil)

Can the US-Iran war last ?

 20260318

Can the US-Iran war last ?

It seems no country is supporting the war except one country.   And the United States is only a tool.

Iran is a big country.   It is almost impossible to take over such a big country.  I don't know how long the war can last.  But it won't be a short time.  Except one thing happens: Except the United States is withdrawing suddenly.  But it won't be happened easily. Can you fight a war if you can't win?   That means a  sure failure or a sure lost. And the situation is consuming.   The war will be consuming for a period of time until someone considers it is not possible to consume all the money and they will call it off.

It is only a waste of time.

Because it needs time to consume your expenditure.

I hope they are smarter.

What is the relation between a wish and an invention?

 20260317 B

What is the relation between a wish and an invention?

If you have a wish,   and if the wish cannot be brought or ordered and if the wish cannot be copied,  then you can invent something to fulfill the wish.

Invention is to complete a wish.......

further action is needed

What is the inner meaning of a balance?

 20260317

What is the inner meaning of a balance?

Politics is external and Culture is internal. If the planet is dominated by only one power,  then the inner power of brain will be lost.   Many languages will disappear,   inner mind will be weaken.   The total behavior of human power or human effort will be lost.

But the world powers wish only to dominate the planet.   Inner variety is not concerned by them

When the human efforts is weakened,  All other tragedies will happen.   It is more than the weather. The total effort of human being,  the growth power of human being will be lost bit by bit.

Will there be a period in the human history become one nation dominance?  

Will there be only one language spoken in this planet?

You can call that a doomsday for human.

The vital need of growth is diversification.

And this is the meaning of resistance.   Nations need to protect themselves. 

One-growth is one road to die.

Humans need to have multiple roads.

Their will not be only one flower in the garden. 

There will not be only one species in the planet.

Why there is only one way ahead?

 20260316

Why there is only one way ahead?

This is the question for the whole universe,   or this is the question for the whole country,  or this is the question for only you.  This is a question for every single person.

Everyone has got only one way ahead.   He will not have two ways.

I think I need not explain very clearly about this.  If it is in full detail,   if it is too clear,  the truth will be disappeared.

This is a misconception for most people.   Most people think that there will be many ways for them to do the same thing.    But every way is pointing to the same direction:  The only one direction.

And please take care that we are not talking about death.    We are talking about life.

And there's only one direction for every life.

You must have only one direction, one mind and one idea.

This is the wisdom of the old Chinese philosophers.  Maybe it is the most important idea.  It is 一心一意. (one mind in one thought) (wholeheartedly)

If you put it into another way,  for example 一意孤行 (one thought in one way) or, (obstinately),  it is also ok, though it is a negative comment.

There are too many negative comments around.  If you take them all into considerations, you'll be crippled.    Nothing can be done. 

To win is the most important way.

Everyone must have this in mind.

What is important if you are very rich?

o 20260315

What is important if you are very rich?

First you need to have a better mind.   Because wealth is just like a tool.  It needs a better mind to use it.

If you think that wealth is money or the food you eat, the house you live,  then you are not eligible for  wealth.

Because you might not know how to use it.

Suppose you know it.   Suppose you know it all.  Suppose you agree that money is a tool.  The problem is still there.  

What is the tool for?

If you have the best tool on earth, what are you going to do?

Therefore, a tool  is not first important in your life.  If you are working hard to get money and if you have succeeded in getting money,   if you do not know what is it for,  then it is useless.

Some people have more than money.   They have  power,  which is more useful than money.   Power  can accumulate money easily.  

But the problem is same.

Do they know their own purpose?

Actually they don't need a purpose.

Most of the time. they want only more.

It seems money is never enough for them.   And they want more power.

But they do not know what to do with all their tools.

They can prolong their life.   They can live healthily until old age.   But there is no eternal settlement for them.

Important is to have an aim in life.

If you have an aim in life, you'll be better than most of the rich people.

What is the hope if the enemy is so strong?

 20260314  B

What is the hope if the enemy is so strong?

Yes, sometimes it is extremely difficult for the growth of a weaker nation.

Can they survive the hardship?

The so called strong and weak has two sides and its  a long forgotten truth.

Some people are strong externally, but weak internally.   Those with a stronger inner strength can last....... It is an old faith,  it might be true.

You need to fight on.

No matter you are a nation or you are an individual,   No one can take away your inner strength.

Sometimes it is so difficult that you can only eat grass,  it happened in history.   And people were dying like grass.   It is true and it is the story of China.

The problem is: can a stronger nation sustain itself?   To sustain itself both from the inner strength and the external wealth?

It is another challenge for China.   If you are strong, can you keep it well?

And if you are strong, other strong people will envy you.

Wars will not be stopped by reasoning.   Wars can only be stopped by fighting.

The situation is not stable.  And it is natural.

No one can expect external or a longer time of peace without hardship and  extraordinary effort.

What can the Chinese people do?

They can find out their inner strength first.

For example, the traditional form of Chinese languages is one of the tools of the inner strength.

The simplified form or the spelling form of the Chinese language can ruin everything from their inner heart.

The Chinese can win back the the heart of the Taiwan people easily by using the traditional form of the same language and strengthen their mind together.

It is a matter of importance.

What is the near future of human?

 20260314

What is the near future of human?  

The near future is not very optimistic.  Because a big country is trying to  devour all other smaller countries.   They would take away all resources from other smaller countries. And no one is going to stop them.

I don't know whether it is good or not.

China is always trying to keep itself away from troubles.

China will not protect smaller countries.

No one is going to protect them.

The problem is if the United States is taking away all the oil reserves or any other resources of this planet,  what will happen next?

However.........

The United States cannot stop the internal  development of the Chinese.

Maybe this is the only hope for the future.

No one can expect what internal development could be achieved.   But the Chinese are working hard on it.

As for the weaker smaller countries,  what can they do?

What if your child is pregnant?

 20260313

What if your child is pregnant?

It happens,  and it is common.   It is a nightmare for parents.  And your child is only 13.

It is more than the problem of a society.

Who cares if someone is left unattended?

If she is alone and if she is in the streets,  she'll be disappeared without notice.

It happens and it happens.

And this is a rich country. Everyone is living in happiness and peace.

And suddenly you find your child is pregnant.

And suddenly you find something unnatural.

When the neon lights are lighting and when the tv shows are going.

Someone is suffering.

What if your child is naughty ?

 20260311

What if your child is naughty ?

It seems to be a simple case, but sometimes I am confused.

Because I am confused if my child is naughty or not.

If my child is naughty,  and if I am not prepared to teach him a lesson,  and if the neighbors come.   They beat my child.

Should I say thank you to my neighbor?

But sometimes the case is not simple like that.

The neighbor is a robber.   They steal.

The case is not a black and white case.

It is a little more complicated.

What shall I do?

And of course, you know it.   Because you are firm in your principle, and you know everything.

What if Iran is gone?

 20260310

What if Iran is gone?

China is like a multi-arms Buddha.   Now the arms are gone one by one.  Oil reserves will become  sole assets of the United States.

Which arm will be the next?

If you look at the map,  you'll find out soon who will be the next.

When the branches of a tree were severed one by one,  the tree is dead.

At first they took away one of your leaves only.    And you thought you have plenty of leaves.   Let them take it.

Now the question is serious.

The question is not what next.

Question is what to do right now.

Advisers advise not to do this and not to do that.

It is fatal.

What it needs is to have a clock.   To calculate how much time is left.

How different are China and the United States In foreign policies?

 20260310

How different are China and the United States  In foreign policies?

China is trying to make friends with everyone.

The United States is trying to take advantages of everyone.

It is obvious.  Everyone with eyes can see that.

Why they are so different?

There are historical reasons and philosophical reasons.

Historically, China has been suffering from being oppressed for a long time.   And the United States is invading all the time.

The United States is money oriented.  China is not money oriented.    Chinese have an ideal.  United States is  chasing after money always.

Is the world constituted by money?

 20250309

Is the world constituted by money?

Maybe it is it is not the concern of some world leaders whether the world is composed by money or not.  It might not be the concern in the minds of them.  What is the real essence of the human being?  What is the real purpose of human being? It is not in their mind.

I'm glad Chinese leaders are not sharing the same idea about money.  To occupy more land, more money, more resources cannot solve problems.

Lots of people are like that.

They can never enjoy the sunshine, the flowers, the sea, the air and everything beautiful in this world.

And they cannot enjoy the true relationship between people.

They cannot enjoy love.

They have only lust.

And this is the true poverty in their life. They never know it.

Is there anything faster than a lightning?

 20260308

 Is there anything faster than a lightning?

It seems that the world is made of speed.   If you can't go faster, you fail and you are dead.

The following is philosophical.   It needs your own experiment to prove it. 

The lightning from the dark clouds above is so strong and powerful,  can you be faster than the strike?

Yes.

You need only to build a lightning rod.  To conduct the electricity to the ground,  and to protect your house.

There were funny arguments before.

People were against to build the lightning rod.

They fear that the lighting rod would "attract" the lightning to come.

It is only experimental to prove it.

Experiments can help people out of the fear.

The design of lightning rod is not to "invite" the strike.

But if fools are more than smart people,   they can overturn all judgments.

The leaves can't do anything,  though the leaves still love the tree.

What will happen?

What makes a fast gunner?

 20260306

What makes a fast gunner?

In the older Western cowboy movies in the States,  you saw many times like this:

The cowboy saw something and he pulled his gun and shoot without a second of hesitation.

I saw it in the Macao cinemas in the fifties many times.   Because I had an uncle working in the cinema,   he would always letting me in without buying a ticket......it is old memory but I have the  finding only now.

How can the cowboy be so fast?

He pulls his gun,  he needs not hesitation and he shoots.

It is just like Donald Trump.

How can he be so fast acting?

When you are still calculating and you are dead.

It is determined by the speed of the brain function.

Your brains are working differently in different parts in different speeds.

You need a few minutes to figure out what is happening.   And you need a few seconds again to figure out what can be done. And you found it is a fire. And you think in your deep mind  where is the smoke coming from?  You need to calculate again in your brain.   It is not because you are a slow gunner,   it is always because, your brains are working in different speeds.   And finally, you have the decision to run or to jump.  The decisions are coming from a complete calculation.   When everything is completed,  you are dead.

If you find you are always waiting,   please think for a few seconds more.    Is it because of my brains which are working differently?

There is another important function to determine the speed.

Its the urge.

If he sees a woman and he would soon decided to  rape it.......he must be a fast gunner.

The urge determines the speed.

The woman you have seen stimulates the fire from your mind and you "go for it"......it is American slang.

If you are waiting for a second chance:

You'll be a "loser"........Its another American slang.

蘇州過後冇艇搭........its Chinese,  in Cantonese slang.

Which one is more important?

 20260304  B

Which one is more important?

Which one is more important?  Politics or Literature?

Some people will think politics is more important.  Because politics can determine the fate of literature.   Literature people can only survive with the permission of politicians.   However, literature is the controller of mind (Some people still believe it.)    They thought its better to work for the mind,  more than to work for the guns.

But this kind of arguments are meaningless.  Politics and literature are only two different places for you to go into.    If you are in the right place and if you are lucky you can survive,  no matter you are in politics or literature.

At the beginning, I do not believe the word  "luck".   Do you need to have some luck to survive?   Some people believe that if you work hard you can survive.   And it is partly true. 

What is luck?  What is your chance? 

Some said it is fate.

But it may not be the fate of an individual.  It may be the fate of your country. 

For example, Iran.

Can you say Iran is determined by her own fate?

Do you think they have a chance to survive?

Sometimes it needs not to think like this.

Anyone will fight for his own fate.

And it is important for his friend too.

If his friends are not offering hands to help....... They will have the same fate later.

Because fate is not alone.  

Fate is related.

Is it possible to rule the whole planet by one country?

 20260304

Is it possible to rule the whole planet by one country?

You can use another word for "rule".   For example, you can say:   Is it possible to "run" the whole planet by one country?

And this is not the question of possibility.   Anything is possible if the power is enough for them to do it.   And people are sure to do it.   People are eager to rule the whole planet with their own method.

This is the question of a trend.

The trend is going into a single controlling command center for all.

Will it be other trend, like "diversification"?

What is needed for your diversification?

What is the pre-condition for the diversification?

The first thing is not money..

The first thing is not ammunition or weapons.

The first thing is a determination in your own mind.

If you are determined to have this planet growing like a huge garden for all and not like a single controlling power to determine everything,  you need only one thing.

You need to have a very strong mind to do it.

You need to defend yourself not being swallowed.

and.......

What is a "pin-pointed" war?

 20260303

What is a "pin-pointed" war?

If you are pinpointed, that means you are selected.  And that means you are in the death list.

Important is:  if you cannot revenge,  if the killer cannot be caught,  then you are lost.  And your country is defeated because of the pinpoint.

To kill one person and defeat the whole nation?

What is the meaning inside?

The meaning is:   

It is cheap.  Cheap means easy.

Is it so easy to devour the planet?

However, the conspiracy can happen only in some weaker countries which do not have a strong cultural bonding for their people.... Some countries do have several languages, which is a dividing force for them.

Hiding is not easy.

The safest place,  theoretically, is to hide yourself in the people.

Where else?

No where else.

The only safety is in your people.

The world is changed..

It is a nude world.

There is nowhere to hide.

You can only hide into the hearts of your people.

And you must answer yourself:

Am I loved by my people?

You will have all the answers following this one question.

Why ask questions?

 20260301

Why ask questions?

Because questions can keep one floating.

One will never sunk with questions in mind but not in mouth.   Questions will keep you survive.

Why not put questions in the mouth?

Because people will come,  to easy your burden of thinking.  

They will offer to think for you.

You don't need to think by asking in the mouth.

.......

And of course, this is philosophical.

In daily life you need to ask questions always.

But deep in your mind, you keep the questions to yourself.

No one can replace your mind,  even AI.

If you dont think, you will not survive.
