Waking Up in the Early Morning#
In the early hours of the morning, I was awakened by a dog barking and couldn't fall back asleep.
Enduring the drowsiness, I turned on the desk lamp. Under the bright light, I also pressed the power button. With half-opened eyes, I received some information.
The content was nothing more than social injustice, the 996 work culture, and similar bad things.
Thinking about these things, I felt nothing but anger towards the struggles in the world. It's not just about long working hours, but also about learning without applying, working without creating, and merely existing without truly living...
Whenever surrounded by such emotions, in my mind, there is a ragged person, carrying a few tools for survival, walking in the wilderness, living for the sake of survival. Although not well-fed, they can fully enjoy the gifts of nature. Standing tall under the sky.
Removing Excess Grease#
Jay Chou once said that he doesn't usually wear underwear, but he does during concerts. When did people start wearing underwear? When did people start wearing pants? Suddenly, I realized that not wearing underwear is also acceptable. It can even be more comfortable.
Just like the pleasure brought by the reproductive organs, when you stop seeking that feeling, your thoughts suddenly become so clear. Just like the hallucinations brought by love, just like the continuation brought by offspring.
Eating is often unnecessary, except for children. My grandmother used to say a phrase, "Food nourishes people, but it also harms people." When you take a bite of a pancake, you can truly taste the sweetness of the starch.
The Foundation Without Excess Grease#
People don't have to abandon their seven emotions and six desires. It's just that many people have lost the right to abandon them. The right to say "no" was expressed during the birth of liberalism. If we cannot say "no" to something, then it becomes an obligation.
We cannot say "no" to being born, coming to this "stage of clowns," and being forced to perform a ridiculous farce. But since life already exists, and human free will has emerged, we have the right and qualification to say "no." This qualification is rooted in the subjective status of humans. The subjective status of humans is not a useless slogan. Humans can decide their own life and death, and can decide to abandon various imposed desires. Even if a person can be destroyed, they cannot be defeated.
Purity Beneath the Grease Link#
In "Qin's Moon," my favorite song is "Emotion" at the end. To travel the world with a sword and be independent from the world. I also love "Robinson Crusoe," living a self-sufficient life on a deserted island. It's worth experiencing in this lifetime. I also love boats, a lonely boatman with a straw raincoat, fishing alone in the cold river. Including spaceships. This is where I find solace.
A Dream of Illusions, Controlling Dreams#
People have wet dreams, but in those dreams, they cannot freely control themselves. Even in their own dreams, they are bound by concepts. If you want to do whatever you want in a dream, you have to remove the constraints within your heart. In reality, people have numerous constraints. But who can say that this is truly reality? Life may be a dream, and we want to control our behavior in the present, but we can't. It's so similar to not being able to control ourselves in a dream.
However, in dreams, people can control their actions. Once there are no unnecessary constraints, when not wearing the "underwear" of desires, that dream will surely be a good dream.
