妄想日記2 by SID
In the Anglo-Saxon calender, its a new year in a few more minutes. In this very eventful year, I thought I ought to put something very meaningful up here. Ok, I find it very meaningful at least.
Go placidly among the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and truthly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, for they too have their story. If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and bitter, for there are always persons greater and lesser than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Be yourself. Do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perenial as the grass. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness, so beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace, whatever your labours and aspirations may be, and in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. Finally, with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful, and strive to be happy.
What do you think? I feel that this is something that is still very much relevant to us, although it was written some 80 years ago by someone known as Mark Ehrmann. People have not changed much in their emotional needs throughout the decades, although our material desires have most certainly increased.
"Meeting you out of the 1 billion other people in this world is a miracle in itself."
