中秋愉快,中秋魚塊~ 笑口常開樂逍遙~
---
秋去秋來月又圓,
十五抬頭啾月娘,
七夕才過秋娥至,
情情鑲連情不斷,
哪邊笑口常開時,
秋蟬月娘齊聚首,
寒冬不遠春將至,
年年常春樂逍遙。
中秋長樂,佳節歡慶~~

Unrest, equation unbalancing...
Unrest, equation unbalancing...
--
Uprising in various part of the world, visual or hidden, all shows the imbalance among people, the sense of unrest root within us, waiting to evolve. Perhaps, it's inevitable, as history shown us, that when people are suffering, a change small or large, is needed. Can the change, be peaceful? or it has to cause a dramatic effect for ultimate changes? Which, it will be?
In Western society, comic strip of superheroes are often a hit, from Superheroes like Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, etc, etc, yet, most of them, or nearly all of them, are two faces... On one hand, it's masked vigilante with tremendous super power or talent, on the other hand, ordinary citizen without much scene, just, plain normal. Exceptionally ordinary, as Luna Lovegood quoted on Harry Potter.
The model of superheroes, are bipolar, and that's what we, as audience love about, purely for one, when they put the mask up, it's total destructions!! Yes, all those buildings will be crashed, all the city structure, or whatever they are in, will be destroyed, in the name of, fighting the bad guy. Therefore, in order to contain the bad/evil, certain destructions, are needed.
Why we love that??
Is because deep inside, we all wish we can do that? to be the Hulk?? to rid of the 'bad'?
Then, what is bad?
Social injustice, as it seem, gradually push world citizens to a point of unacceptable of the nonsense that put on us, in the name of "order". In whose order? and in whose favorite?
The so-called 1% phrase made a scene that change people's perception on how they were tormented without a proper reason, various part of the world, tax rate is as high as ridiculous, where certain ultra-riches waste monetary like trash. Lower educated with status live like royal, while graduates serve like pets.
It's, a new world, a world where sense of nature is ignored, where mirror don't always reflect the truth.
It's a bubble, always ready to burst, therefore, what, and when will it burst?
You and I, we all live on the planet, not our choice, but we do have to. It's not our intention to live happy with others, but, we have to. Of course, it's not our desire to serve others, but, indeed, we have to.
Education, can only lead you thus far, common sense can only save you from falling, but, the inevitable, will, always send you back down, to where you don't want to be.
In all history, revolutions are the way to make total changes; however, given time, the cycle routes back to the same issues, same greeds, same, human errors. Then, can these symptom be cure at all??
Human nature, is one of the joy, yet, predictable from time to time, smart one can always figure out what's next to come, as written by the book, a code per se; perhaps rooted in all our DNA.
Unrest, how comfort is it, that an unrest is fun?
I'm sure audience always waiting for the superheroes to "burst", as it should be the most dramatic scene of the movie or show, damn, that's what we pay to watch, so, uncle Ben has to die several times for us to enjoy Peter's regret, so is Mr./Mrs Wayne. Planet Krypton always in destruction mode, and we, as the viewer, always need to know that, else there's no reason for Clark to "do something"...
Yet, why we have to see all those destructions?? can't the comic world be a peace as it should?
All those stories, novels, it's always two sides, a bad, and not so evils... yeah, you say there are goods? So, where? Mr. Potter is adorable, yet, he's not 100% good at all time, is he?
One ring rule them all~ also corrupts them, unless you're powerful enough to wear it.
Psychological speaking, each of us, more often in lifetime, wish to "destroy" something, it's an urge, waiting for the moment to "come out". And yes, the more we bury this "urge", the higher it will "burn".
Pressure cooker.
A simple device, yet, in each of us.
Art of balancing, as ancient Chinese Daoist tried so hard to learn, make it as way of life, longevity, as they call it. In a simple way, it's, just balancing yourself, by using various method as best suitable as you can.
Therefore, "doing good deeds", is superheroes' excuse to 'balance' their power/talent. Also clean the city a bit...
So.. what's yours?
We, as the human being live in society, do, need to balance ourselves, injustice or not, it's the world we, as one, can't change, therefore, suitable balancing method is required, for our own safety, after all, we are, not superheroes...
Grouping, often time can bring force, for the desire or changes we wish to obtain; however, destruction within the group, is, also inevitable. Needs, change over time, for each.
In the end, unrest, will always stay within us.. repetition of it.
---
Let there be an equation, where perfect form of life can be reach, as our soul need it, as the society wants it, as animal nature within us, truly crave for it...
Let the outer force cease cycling, where tortures end without prize, as life can't linger much longer in it, as few casualty as it can be, blow the shield away for good...
Let the inner heart regenerate, where blood flow through the vessel in harmony, as water drip down from the cloud, as natural as it should be, reds within us as love than violent...
---
Inevitable unrests, popping all over the world, as a sign for change, in the end, it all needs to come, to calm...
Rid of root causes... as if wind can send love, to each of us, within, deeply..
sensing rest, sensing moves, sensing love.

各位看的很訝異嗎? 都,買不起喔?
房地產,本身就是個自古以來最平穩的行業,除非戰亂或自然災害,年久增值那是自然循環,卻,需要眼光跟膽識。外加些基本常識。
一間房子,一塊土地,它的價值跟未來發展,那是一種賭注,除了它本身的價值,也要加入周遭的環境,
美國房界說得好,Location, Location, Location.
美國的好處,它會去製造 Location, 開拓區域,以致每個城市鄉村都能居住,房價會否漲,那就看那城市的規劃跟居民了。
眾看亞洲各華人區,只會“吵房”,不會經營。 你跟個牠“賤商”吵,牠賺,你賠。
各位親戚好友,不論在美國與否,不管 “自認” 經濟情況如何,不管來美國多久了,十年也好,三十多年也好,事實上,都是無知。。
簡單一件事:
連你居住的周遭環境都不熟,你想期待什麼?
甚至連嘗試當地文化都不願去做,那你來美國做啥??
是 “移居”,還是 “移民”??
美國本身文化就是個 “闖”,所有事業都是 “闖” 出來的。
“闖”,會賺,也會賠。。 看運氣。
不變,就是守成。
守成不容易,因為等著分財產的廢物很多。
財產奪到後,不會用得更多。
財產,歷來都是越分越少,分到破產。
很正常,會搶著要分財產的,一般都沒什麼頭腦去創新。
台灣王永慶有個白痴兒子,叫王文洋,整天吵著要奪回 “他的財產”。。
中文很有趣,“財”, 貝 + 才。
最古老的交易都是用貝殼,所以代表金錢。
貝+才。(想要有“貝”,你得要有“才”。。)
那些想著老一輩的財產的,大多是奪,
古代爭分都是 戈刀相向。
戈戈相伐。為金錢。
貝 + 戈 + 戈
賤。
賤,並非不好,但要賤的有格調,無恥的有體面,下流的有層次。
中國歷史上最賤的人,叫劉邦。
那是 賤的有義氣,無恥的有品味。
因為那痞子的賤與無恥,你我得乖乖的當 “漢人”。
從來沒有一個種族是 “漢”。。
“漢”,是那痞子劉邦創出來的。他本身是楚人。
那,你是什麼人???
你是有 “貝” 還是有 “才” ??
還是 “戈戈” 相向?
“戈” 完了之後,留著給後人繼續割??
古人闖關東,走西北,蕩南洋,渡西洋,都是不得以。
在家過得好好的,誰要出門?
大英帝國要是個富裕天堂,遍地錢財,誰要到新大陸?
新大陸東岸要是活得下去,吃飽沒事闖西部?
“闖”,是不得已,勢不得已。
你不願闖,那,以上那些房地產,永遠不會跟你有關係。
你也不需羨慕或忌妒,因為無才的人,在家過過就好,別出門丟人了。
現在美國某些地區都會有很多 “中國難民” 來 “移居”。
那些 “難民”,都會比你我有錢,也很敢花費,很,有種。
但,有一點是不會變的,百分之九十以上的 “金錢難民”,都會敗。
會敗,因為他們比你們還無知,更不會融入北美文化。
一代單傳,會導致廢物叢生,
花花公子,貴婦公主,只會讓那些不知哪來的財,散的更快。
中華文化,多半跟他們無關。
西方文化,一知半解品牌至上。
你一定會跟那些 “金錢難民” 接觸,但,別羞辱他們,
五十步笑百步是常理,但十步笑十五步,真的很丟臉。
房地產,是個不倒行業。
但你若三,四年前沒關注,請你也別浪費時間了。
鍋居,鍋可很大,也可很小。
---
p.s.
生不帶來,死不帶去,多少物質,多少德性,祖上修德,後代乘涼。
德以永續,寬廣大道,德以滅毀,小徑小靜,無法無知,德孝得笑。
----
一知半解闖西洋。

清明雨。
清明雨。
語清明,清明雨,遙遙相祭千百年,兩袖揮揮風去已,嗷嗷之音奈若何,雙足踏行江水間,
猶響耳,刀劍笑,古語新音八潭水,封峰豐鋒楓蜂瘋,咄惰跺墮柁舵剁,陰陽無極奈河時。
木桐。
清明時,雨紛飄。

天下。墨。
天下。墨。
--
行如天地,罔如魂,虛如墨,行者空,道義盡,篛金身,悟環深。
步行於世,境如海,實如淵,天習者,地測處,玉添金,雲鬚田。
非攻天志,明鬼非命,尚賢兼愛,猶若還因那時休,朝夕月影紫墨雨,
填缺納霧,幽冥鬼火,傲陽高照,山尖無比待猿取,溝澗細川風逍遙。
雲行天地徹想爾,順勢逆行舟大同,一巧一灼一封言,一面南山兩映情,
氓蕩鷹旋徹俯仰,明星點卯黑白現,兩景兩世兩份緣,兩手北叩三分井,
雀笛鳴嗷啾了然,蟬鳴深淵水彈波,三泊三停三滴啼,三映東陽四迴響,
孤豹行雲土行孫,影蹤無形聲訥現,四足四虛四方雲,四處西遊五額恤。
子語墨行,武斷百言,文豈蓋儒,獨尊何語,盪世茲言,猶若盲孔,哼哈二將,口心難齊。
霧生自然,解語那然,空悟期天,徹心諦熄,油火不滅,源處前因,虛實輪換,南柯斗星。
明珠納蘭,藕蓮偶連。
