Reflections on Life: Awakening and Intoxication
Awakening and Intoxication of Life
The more you walk the road, the more painful your feet; the more you think, the more tired your heart. Life is not easy, hard work makes people tired, thinking too much makes the heart weary.
Reality tells me:
Life depends on your own busy work; hardship and tiredness rely on you to shoulder.
As Qu Yuan said, 'Everyone is muddy, and I am alone clear; everyone is drunk, and I am awake.'
Zuo Si Cheng said, 'Ask Qu Yuan, is he awake like Yuan Ming? Early seek a stable and comfortable place to sit and rest.'
When does life awaken? When does it intoxicate? Whether drunk or awake, who can truly savor the taste? Life is too smart, a kind of burden; too foolish is a kind of sin. A wise life is to wake up when it should, and drink when it should.
Life needs three parts intoxication, seven parts awareness;
Being awake is a pain, being drunk is a happiness. Being drunk and awake is a pain, being awake and drunk is wisdom. Clarity is pain, slumber is ignorance. A half-drunk, half-awake life is a way of life. Only after intoxication do you know the wine is strong, only after love do you know how deep the feelings are. Awake or drunk, in people, no longer wine.
When drunk, think of waking up; when awake, think of drunk, so we often drink ourselves drunk.
Life's best state is half-awake, half-drunk. A half-awake, half-drunk life is a way of life. Drunken eyes see the world, clarity guides life. A dream, intoxication, awakening, everything is like a fleeting illusion. If everyone is drunk, I will join them; if I remain alone clear, I will be seen as mad.
Wake up, then drink; drink, then wake up. How many times can life truly experience it, isn't that wonderful?
Intoxication is life, clarity is life. Sometimes intoxication is better than clarity, sometimes clarity is better than intoxication. Drunk, you forget all worries and fatigue, return home and fall asleep; awake, a new world appears.
Drinking with others, enjoying the cool breeze, four sides, it's a pleasant time. Life is fleeting, a hundred years, how many days can you truly relax? Better to drink with others, don't be alone clear.
Drunk, know the wine is strong, clear, know the dream is empty. Originally, seeing flowers wilt is also painful. I drink or don't drink, in the eyes of others, I am drunk, I am clear. But I awake or don't awake, it's truly in my own heart.
People drink, the wine intoxicates them, drunk people wake up; awake, clarity leads, who knows whether it's clarity or intoxication?
