Ninth, Nice... = ='"

Nine, is the highest single-digit number in the decimal system... Ninth, in many culture is a lucky number, a prime per se... In I-Ching, nine does represent a situation in the first order hexagram system of heaven/force; by the way, if you interested in Chinese culture, learn from I-Ching is a good start, yet, very confusing... learn after age forty is what Confucius recommanded... Also, I think learning from Western view point is much much easier to understand the concept...
Nine years, aren't long in one's lifetime, it is still a slow process to reach that time... yet the time still reached... how fascinated...
初九，潛龍勿用。
初九曰：潛龍勿用，何謂也？子曰，龍德而隱者也，不易乎世，不成乎名，遯世無悶，不見是而無悶，樂則行之，憂則違之，確乎其不可拔，潛龍也。
I don't like end of June, especially nine years ago... even though it took me to another realm that I never thought possible, still, it's not a smooth experience, at all...
Looking back, it does like what I-Ching has mentioned, well, as what I have see for now... since life does give intesting twists all the time...
Took almost nine years to lighten a memory of someone, maybe it's stupid, but that's just me... Can't complain about it... I'm just a slow learner and appreciate things at a tortoise pace... even though I do live in a fast food nation. An experience or memory can't be left out of life completely, thus, I need time to integrate it into part of me, to fully appreciate what encountered during those youthful years... after all, love, can't be easily marked... nor erased...
Course last nine years aren't vacant at all, if so, life would be very good... and I'll be in mountains somewhere in the world w/o human access... well, it would be a dream... to have endless fresh airs until Antarctica collapse...
Well, social responsibilities does keep individual enact, whether he or she likes or not... social rules does bound people in a loop, family, friendship, business, cultural, etc... unless one can figure out a way to break from society, yet, hardly possible in this digital age...
Frankly, I have no brain power to break away... nor the willingness to follow others' rule... Yeah, I hate rules... especially stupid rules... funny part is, I did encounter many in the last nine years to shared this little symptom with me... so... start a riot?? hmm... not a bad idea...
Liberal or Conservative?? well, life is not black or white... It's just how gray you want to be...
Social benefits, are what most comfortable with, once that security is left out of the picture, a test of one's talent should appear...
I, have no talent at all... if you ask...
I, learn nothing, and do nothing...
Nothing is good, as Dao De Jing states... thus, I have nothing...
Daoism is bad... it tells you to have nothing, at the same time, you still need something... Believe it or not, "the Art of War" derived from Daoism... so are many Ancient Chinese text... that all came from "nothing"....
Well, Jerry Seinfeld's "A Show about Nothing" is popular... Westerners do learn fast...
Nine years of "nothing" sure made many things interesting... letting go of self, does open up many doors... exploring the vast intrigue part of human fundamentals is somewhat negative, however, it may be needed if one wish to done "something" in life... whatever that "something" is...
In a sense, a next nine years should be very busy for me, hopefully... I do not know how many nine years I can have in my lifetime, I only knows to live vividly, and provide what I can...
Nothing more I can say until I have "something", darn, Daoism is bad.... very bad... maybe I should envy someone for a change... or, follow the rules... that, might be easier...
Eh... Cruella de Vil as a role model?? hmm... could be fun...
Oh well, down the path I should know... maybe...
Next nine huh... how nice it can be??
