who_are_we?
Do_you_enjoy_LinYutang?_He_is_an_odd_man, famed_as_a_Chinese_cultural_disseminator.He_had_thirty_literatures_in_English, which_all_were_as_sources_of_American_colledge_teaching_materials.
Athought_I_have_not_read_many_his_works, I_enjoy_his_works_for_his_special_viewpoints.There_I_extract_some_from_his_works, which_is_concerning_what_we_now_often_ask_ourselves.
“Who_are_we?_That_is_the_first_question.it_is_a_question_almost_impossible_to_answer.But_we_all_agree_that_the_busy_self_occupied_in_our_daily_activities_is_not_quite_the_real_self.We_are_qiute_sure_we_have_lost_something_in_the_mere_pursuit_of_living.When_we_watch_a_person_running_about_looking_for_something_in_a_field, the_wise_man_can_set_a_puzzle_for_all_the_spectators_to_solve:_what_has_that_person_lost?_Some_one_thinks_it_is_a_watch;_another_thinks_it_is_a_diamond_brooch;_and_others_will_essay_other_guesses.After_all_the_guesses_have_failed, the_wise_man_who_really_doesn’t_know_what_the_person_is_seeking_after, tells_the_company:”I’ll_tell_you.he_has_lost_some_breath.”_And_no_one_can_deny_that_he_is_right.So_we_often_forget_our_true_self_in_the_pursuit_of_living, like_a_bird_forgetting_its_own_danger_in_pursuit_of_a_mantis, which_again_forgets_its_own_danger_in_pursuit_of_another_prey, as_is_so_beautifully_expressed_in_a_parable_by_Chuangtse.”
I_very_much_like_that_paragraph.It_seemed_to_be_the_portraiture_of_life.
