Life takes us through one journey after another, and fate keeps our circumstances constantly changing.All we saw was a rough road; everything we heard was frightening. Beauty sat before us on his throne of glory, and we approached him, in the name of Simu, and soiled his mantle, and took off his chaste crown.Love wears docile clothes and passes in front of us, so some of us are suspicious of him, hiding in the dark and spying;The wise among us see him as According to the Bible, it is said that Yetian was baptized by John the Baptist on the banks of the Jordan River.A heavy Quaker, though softer than the fragrance of flowers, gentler than the breeze of Lebanon.Wisdom stands in the streets and alleys, calling us loudly in public, but we think it is absurd and look at his followers coldly.Liberty invites us to a feast, to enjoy his wine, feast, and we go, spitting out, and the feast becomes disgusting and vulgar.Nature extends a friendly hand to us, asking us to enjoy his beauty, but we are afraid of his tranquility and flee to the city.There, there were more and more of us, crowded together, like a flock of wolves, huddled together.True love is brought to visit us by the smile of a child or the kiss of a lover, but we close the door of our emotions in front of him, and stay away from him, like a dirty sinner.Conscience cries out to us, our soul calls us, and we shut our eyes and listen, and are obstinate; and if anyone hears the cries of his conscience and the call of his soul, we say that the man is insane, and with him Alienated, refused to get involved.

In this way, the night passed by us, but we didn't know what to do.The day shakes hands with us, but we fear both the night and the day.God is ours, but we are close to the clay.Famine eats away at our strength, and we walk through life's bakery without tasting it.what!How lovely life is, and how far we are from it!
