Missing You

 20260217

新年快樂樂趣多

大吉大利笑呵呵

騎著馬兒飛奔喎

我掛住你掛住我

New Year joys beyond compare,

Luck and laughter everywhere!

On a horse, we swiftly ride—

I'm on your mind, you're on my side.

A poem 2026

 20260216

老髮微增曲處多

人間無奈歲月何

借取當年舊相片

回憶想望那當初

青春笑語舊生哥

樂趣未減歡聲播

還我從前太子道

大搖小擺慢步過

Hair thin with age, more curves appear,

Yet what can time do, year by year?

I take an old photo from the past,

To recall the days that couldn't last.

Youthful laughter, schoolmates of old,

Joy undiminished, stories told.

Give me back Prince Edward Road of yore,

Where I strolled slowly, as before.

note

Yore is an old-fashioned or poetic word that means "long ago" or "former times."

It is often used in the phrase "of yore," as in:

"in days of yore" → meaning "in days long past."

In the poem, "Prince Edward Road of yore" refers to the way that road used to be in the past, evoking nostalgia for earlier times.

Why it needs to seek help from heaven sometimes?

 20260215

Why it needs to seek help from heaven sometimes?

It is in this boundary where religion comes into the minds of people.

When you have exhausted all means to solve your problem,  you can only choose to pray.

The question is, is the problem a real one?

Have I exhausted all my strength?

If someone is going to die,  no one can stop him from dying.

Experiences in the hospital will tell you about this.

You were crying and you were praying, but nothing is possible.

You cannot wake up the dead.

You can only do your best.

Have I been doing all my best?

I dare not say yes.

But I promise you I will.

Why am I happy?

 20260214

Why am I happy?

Actually, the question should be  "Why was I happy the day before? "

It was because of my dream.

I dreamt about my elder brother.

I never wanted to write about him before.

He was a trouble of the family. 

He was not retarded but he was slow.  He was slow in learning but quick in gambling. I helped him with his homework since we were six or seven. He was a gambler all his life since early ages. But he never worked,   and he never finished school.

His money, only small money, was always from our grandmother.   My grandmother forgave him and loved him,  And gave him money as long as she can afford.   A few coins will do sometimes.  We were a poor family. We were extremely poor even to the edge of hungry.  Although I can eat every day.   It was never a real hungry but we are at the edge of it.

And it was good.   It was healthy for thoughts to develop. If I was in a well-off family,  I might not have developed a mind to see it from the bottom.  I might not have developed a mind to concern about our universe and everything in it.   You can find many things with such a concern.

Everybody in my family was annoyed with my elder brother.  It is very bad for a poor family with a gambler to support.

My elder brother died early in his fifties.

Everything was quiet since then.

He was gradually fading away from my memory for the last 20 years.

I have a very good dream to dream about him the night before.

It was a very happy moment in the dream.

I am seldom so happy like this. But it was a dream. He came back to talk with me.   We were meeting in a very good restaurant with a garden. And he dressed well.  Not like the poor look before.

We were talking to each other and walking outside the garden in a comfortable and leisure manner.

And then I woke up in the mood of happiness. 

I was happy and I don't know why.

Maybe the unhappiness was gone in the dream.

Happiness was from unhappiness.

What is impermanance?

 20260213

What is impermanance?

Impermanance is a frightening religious word.

Its meaning is:   nothing lasts.

But it cannot be explained in a simple way.  If you think you cannot know what's going to happen the next minute,  then you will get mad and nothing can be done.

Impermanence is an explanation for the universe and our existence.

It means nothing can last,  and nothing can be expected.

No one can know the final outcome of this universe, and no one can know the final fate of human.

It is true and you cannot expect anything else except miracles happen.

Sensible people will ask,  what are we going to do?

It will be a deep question inside his mind for a long time.

It is a question no religious people can answer.

Because it might be a wrong question.  When you saw everything is not lasting,  you might forget that something is happening new.   Old one gone, new one come.   And there are always new ones.

If the human race is gone,  there might be a new one.   And this is not impermanence.   This is only permanence.  This is constant and lasting.

You might ask will the universe last?  The answer is yes.  Even if the universe is destroyed,  there might be a new one emerging.

And the last and more important point is:  even though nothing lasts,  but humans can create a miracle.

It must be a very strong rooted belief in you and me, that we humans can create miracle.   That is a possibility that cannot be denied.

This is a simple conviction that can keep you going.   It means hope is real.

If nothing can last,  and nothing can be expected, then one thing is still expecting:  miracles can never be denied,  and you can create one.  It is certain.

What is most important in a 3-union of peace?

 20260212

What is most important in a 3-union of peace?

This is a rare chance for human history that a real peace is near.  If the  three powers can think deeply about this peace,  they will know it is the most important time now.

There are problems outside the 3-union.

For example,   drugs are coming from outside the territory of the United States.  

It is useless if you keep your doors closed.   It is because some people needs it.  And people who doesn't know how to live their life needs it.

Can you tell your own people how to live their lives?

The answer is no if there is no peace on earth.

It seems easy if two of the giants can shake hands.  But the world is in a 3 power situation.  There must be a real union of the three.

Three hands need to shake together.

And it must be real.

Anything without reality is useless.

However, the 3-union can be weaken by a 4th-power who is watching  closely nearby.

That is why some issues like Taiwan or the Ukraine must be settled first.

What's the internal factor of the Taiwan issue?

 20260211

What's the internal factor of the Taiwan issue?

The single and most important internal factor about the Taiwan issue is language.

If political discussions in China cannot be settled,   if the language issue  remains untouched,   all things will not be smooth.

The political discussions in China shows the world,   there is a strange power not happy to reunite.

External issues are easy.   There will be a huge benefit for the friendship of US and China.  All sides wish to see that happen.  There will be an unexpected  economic growth for all.

The internal issue is the languages in the minds.

There is no disadvantage for solving the language problem.  If the Chinese can use the traditional language more (not forbidding the simplified form),  all Chinese will have a better brain function,  and they will be smarter than ever.   It is only the political discussions created a block.

There is no disadvantage using the traditional Chinese languages.

It needs to remove the blocks.

If the blocks are not removed, bad things will happen.
