One of Chinese sayings goes like “There is no banquet without an end in this world.” I used to be very upset about it, not realizing how reality could be and bite! After having spent almost 10 years overseas, I know much of our life cannot be turned back, or I should say it’s hundred percent irreversible.
On Sunday afternoons, we would get together, having lunch, chatting, and sharing many thoughts about life and death. I enjoyed the intellectual and spiritual stimulation of those days. After church, we sometimes would drive into the mountains to see the breath-taking scenes. I loved the fresh air and some unexpected aboriginal habitats scattering in the valleys.
I hope everyone I used to be close with is doing well, no matter where he or she is, or any lifestyle he or she is leading. We tend to judge others by social norms or our own standards; yet who are we to do so ? It’s a dire feeling to lose contact of those friends.
J.C., I know your divorce was a catastrophe but whom should we blame? I recall the night I rang back to Taidong, you said you were just being strong and perplexed why everyone expected you to show weakness because you’re female. Of course, it all had passed and we grew older and life keeps going and we will probably never see each other again…
I wish there would be an everlasting banquet, so we could be together forever!
