THE SIMPLICITY OF LIFE NOW BECOME
COMPLEXITY
Life is useless, all useless. You spend your life
working, labouring, and what do you have to
show for it? Generations come and generations
go, but the world stays just the same.
The sun
rises, and still goes down, going wearily back
to where it must start all over again. The wind
blow south, the wind blow north, round and
round back again. Every rivers flow into the
sea, but the sea is not yet full. The water
returns to where the river began and starts all
over again (rain). Everything leads to
weariness (a weariness too great for words).
Our eyes can never see enough to be satisfied;
our ears can never hear enough to be filled.
What has happened before will happen again.
What has been done before will be done again.
There is nothing new even in the whole world.
Some will say "here is something new! But no,
it has all happened before, long before we are
born.
Don't be surprised when you see that the
government oppresses the poor and denied
them justice and their right. Everything will
definitely come to an end. They have forgotten
that a good #reputation is better than
expensive #perfume ; and the day you die is
better than the day you are born. I tell you
posterity will judge. It is better to have wise
people reprimand you than to have stupid
people sing your praises. You may be wise,
rich, influential, but if you cheat, your are acting
like a fool, if you take a bribe, you ruin your
character. I tell you some people will taste
death even before they die. People who hate
anyone who challenges injustice and speak the
whole truth even in the court, people who
challenge injustice in the wrong manner, people
who embraces insincerity, those who have
oppressed the poor and robbed them of their
grains. NEITHER WILL THEY PEACEFULLY LIVE
IN THE FINE STONE HOUSES THEY BUILD NOR
JOYFULLY DRINK WINE FROM THE BEAUTIFUL
VINEYARDS THEY PLANT.
