Heres 2 poem to share to what am i feeling recently....... Pain----- All was quiet in this park,untill the wind, like a gasping messenger, announced The tyrant's coming. Then did the branched talk in agony You remember that raging storm? In their fear despairing flowers nevertheless held bougquets to the grim king; Meteors were the tassels of his crown while like branches that only spoke when the storm menaced We cried in agony as we fell slashed by the cold blade of an invinsible sword. Mutilated our limbs were swept awa by the rain But not our blood; Indelible, it stuck on the walls Like wild gum on tree-trunks------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solitude--------- Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone For the sad old earth must borrow its mirith Sing, and the hills will answer; sign.it is lost on the air; The echoes bound to a joyful sound But shrink from the voicing care Rejoice, and men will seek you; grieve, and they turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all,- There are none to delicne your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by, Succeed and give, and it helps to live, But no man help you die. For there is room in the halls of pleasure For a large and lordly train, But one by one we must file on Through the narrow aisles of pain.

The Cycle of nature—I really believe in that now. I believe that every single aspect on earth obeys this Cycle. How people must grow old and die, how empires and kingdoms rise and fall, how good things must come to an end. I have always been a strong headed person. I always believe that One control one’s destiny. I don’t believe in fate or such. However even so, the cycle of nature still exist. One’s hardwork and determination to prevent failure will only lengthen the time to downfall. Say for example, The great Tang Dynasty of China, also known as the golden age. No matter how strong, it still ended few hundred years later. Same for gambling, during the Chinese new year, I played quite a few hands and I realized that winning and losing is somewhat equaled up at the end of the day, it only depends on whether one knows when to stop in the game. Everything goes through, Birth—Growth—Apex—Decline—Destruction, Just take a look around, it happens simultaneously around us. Events of our life, natural world, it happens. However what gives hope is that when at somewhere something withers, at another corner, something is born…….
