Ah Heng's Daoism Page
Chapter Twenty

'This' and 'That', what is the difference?
'Good' and 'Evil', how much does it differ?
If others tell me to fear (evil),
so must I also be fearful of it?

Oh what bullshit!! How superficial they are!!

Everybody is rejoicing and smiling,
but they are in fact imprisoned in their own Cosmological Cages,
thinking that Spring is always coming round the corner.
(Heng: How similar to 'Salvation' is just round the millenium)

It is only me alone who is holding unto my emptiness,
and does not expect anything in the end;
[lost in the Dao]
like a child that has not grown up,
and who has no belonging to return to.

All people think they have a place to return,
it is only I who seem to have left something behind instead.
Indeed I have the mind of an idiot!

[lost in the Dao]
The world is full of people who are clear and distinct of their thoughts,
it is only me who is blur and stupid;
All of them look lively and self-assured,
it is only me who is melancholic and worrying.
[deep and empty as the ocean,
flowing through like a gentle breeze]

All other people have their possessions and achievements,
it is only I who stubbornly holds on to my frugality.
I am different from others,
for I prize myself as relying only upon Mother Nature.
