Chapter 4 A handful of sand on the shore

A handful of sand on the shore The sorrow of love sings, the sorrow of knowledge speaks, the sorrow of desire whispers, the sorrow of poverty cries.But there is another sorrow, deeper than love, nobler than knowledge, more powerful than desire, more bitter than poverty.It was silent, though, and its eyes shone like stars. When you tell your neighbor about your misfortune, you are entrusting a part of your heart to him.If he is broad-minded, he will thank you; if he is narrow-minded, he will despise you. Progress is not about improving "was", but moving toward "will".

Poverty is a veil over pride.Appeals are masks that cover toughness. When the savage is hungry, he picks fruit from the tree and eats it; when the civilized man is hungry, he buys fruit from the buyer of the fruit picker and eats it. Art is a step from the obvious known to the hidden unknown. Some people tempt me to be loyal to them in order to enjoy being tolerant of me. I don't know a man's heart unless he thinks I owe him. The earth breathes, we are born; the earth rests, we die. The human eye is a microscope, and the world it sees is bigger than it actually is. I am innocent before those who see shamelessness as bravery and meekness as weakness.

I am innocent in front of those who take chatter for knowledge, silence for ignorance, and affectation for art. There may be a shortcut to what we think is difficult. They said to me: If Lin sees a slave asleep, do not wake him, perhaps he is dreaming of his freedom. "I said to them, 'If you see a slave sleeping, wake him up and talk to him about freedom.

A writer is made of thoughts and feelings, and then endowed with language; a researcher is made of words, and then is endowed with a little thought and feeling.

The river runs to the sea persistently, no matter whether the water grinding wheel is broken or good. You eat fast and walk slowly, why not eat with your feet and walk with your hands? Only when the world in your eyes becomes smaller can your happiness or sorrow become larger. Science is your seed, not your seed. I do not hate unless I use it as a weapon of self-defense; but I will never use it unless I am weak. Had the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus known his hidden secret, he would have stood solemnly before him. Love is trembling happiness. They think I have a sharp eye because I see them through the sieve.

No sooner had I felt the pangs of loneliness than people praised my fault—battle; criticized my virtue—silence. Among the people there are murderers who have not shed blood, thieves who have not stolen, liars who only tell the truth. A truth that needs to be proved is a half-truth. Why don't you keep me from wisdom that doesn't weep, philosophy that doesn't smile, greatness that doesn't bow to children? Covered by the appearance of all things, exist because of all things, exist among all things and belong to the wisdom world of all things!You listen to me because you are my present, my self; you look at me because you are the gaze of all living things.Throw in my soul a seed of your wisdom, that it may grow in your forest and provide one of your fruits.Amen!
