Who are you?

--Where are you? --here. - What time is it now? --at this time. --Who are you? --now. In the dead of night, alone, with only yourself, will you be afraid because you perceive the emptiness of the world and cannot grasp it? - People are afraid of their hearts, and the heart is their only destination. The journey is what brings joy, not the destination. - When the destination we all long for finally arrives (hence Naipaul's Arrival Mystery), without being sure what we end up with, it becomes less like what we've been looking for. Everyone will give you advice, and they don't know they're blocking your way to find your own answers. ——Start from the heart to find what you really want, don't be limited by the world and dogma, do what you want to do. Knowledge is not power, and it is by no means wisdom. - Human beings currently have too much knowledge and extremely poor wisdom. No amount of knowledge can nourish or support your mind, it can never bring you ultimate happiness or peace. Death is not sad. —Sadly, most people never lived. When you are afraid, draw your sword and chop your thoughts to shreds. Chop up those regrets and fears, and those that exist only in the past and the future. A true warrior will not give up what he loves. ——He is extremely vulnerable, but he still takes the initiative, that is the only real courage. Let go of self-obsession, and your actions will become free, automatic, and spontaneous, free from ambition, control, or fear. You are free to move forward in the wind.
