You're right. Forget it then.

No, no, no.
It's not about many women. I really like being in love.
I would have stayed with one lady forever if I could, but it didn't work out that way.
I could be sad and ask, "Why can't fate be more kind?"
But, I have found that I do not control fate.
About reasons and fate, I say...
There is nothing that needs a reason,
though everything has one.
Yet just because everything has a reason,
does not mean we need to know the reason for everything.
| Quote: |
Laozi Dao de Jing Chapter 73
Who is brave and bold will perish;
Who is brave and subtle will benefit.
The subtle profit where the bold perish
For Fate does not honour daring.
And even the sage dares not tempt fate.
Fate does not attack, yet all things are conquered by it;
It does not ask, yet all things answer to it;
It does not call, yet all things meet it;
It does not plan, yet all things are determined by it.
Fate's net is vast and its mesh is coarse,
Yet none escape it.
老子:「道德经」:第七十三章
勇于敢则杀，勇于不敢则活。
此两者，或利或害。
天之所恶，孰知其故。
天之道，
不争而善胜，不言而善应，
不召而自来，繟然而善谋。
天网恢恢，疏而不失。
|
For all our lives, we are both caught and cradled in fate's net.
Fate is both comforting and mischievious - it's not useful to ask why?

Everyone of us (me too) can become a very successful person in the future.

Beancurd is a real Daoist? (ps, I think my hometown has the most delicious beancurd in the world)
In my opinion, being successful is delight wtih every coming day.
For everyone, there is a law of conservation of lucky. Who made this law
is not important, but this law told us not to blame other people and the fate.
In fact, I named this law.  |

What's a "real Daoist"? |
In my opinion, someone only cosider Daoism as a kind knowledge, they research it. Someone consider it as a rule, they believe and obey it.
I consider laters to be real Daoist. |

Then I am a real Daoist.
Silly me! As I said in another post, "Most Americans think I am strange, most Chinese think I am 怪人 - I think I'm Ok, and that's good enough for me."

You are so lucky that not every American and Chinese know you.
We always consider Laozi as the prime minister of the heaven in our traditional fairy tales. I don't know if you understand me. He is "太上老君".
In the Pilgrimage to the West, he is a cute grandpa. |
