i wanna share a very fine Japanese poem i found. damn nice
A poem from Monk Ryokan
世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと
Our life in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
Its like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky.
any idea what it meant?

what ever we struggle for life..it will be ended in emptiness..is that make sense? btw,how’s your days Digun??
i dont quite agree, our struggle in life should be oriented on the benefit for other people as well. that way, what we struggle for wont end in emptyness, we have people to cherish and feel our fruits of struggle. then our struggle will live on
