Delighted Stupid Wind | Empire Illusion

Let’s begin from a interesting story, 2 fishman in the beach. Thanks for michelini’s story

——-

2 fishermen are sitting in on a quiet beach, each day they catch fish, some to eat, some to sell to make a living. They grow up together, living life and sharing stories and chatting.

Then one day, one of the fisherman says “I want to try to make something of myself….I want to become something! I’m going to do it, go out into the world and become a success!”

The remaining, content fisherman says “I wish you the best my friend, but I enjoy my life right here”

So the departing fisherman does just that, works hard, gets a corporate / office job. Climbs the “corporate ladder” and builds his wealth. Gets the corporate car, awesome promotion, retirement savings account.

Later, the corporate fisherman retires from the corporate world. He retires.

…..where do you think he retires to…????

He returns to the fishermen village. And he picks up a fishing pole and sits next to his old friend.

He turns to his old friend and says “hows everything? I missed it so much here. I worked so hard, made something of myself, made some money, look at me”

The long time friend replies, “welcome back, I’ve been enjoying life right here all along”.

===============================

And that story should make all of us think. What are we here to do? Make money? Make business? No, while some of may enjoy that, we are here to enjoy our lives, share stories with our loved ones, and pass knowledge from generation to generation.

Then I sit back and think, am I living the right way?

make the life more colorful, more meaningful, more valuable, it’s my idea for why I have to leave my hometown.

I had written similar post in my chinese blog, it’s kind of philosophy things, deep into the root and even the origine of a person.

I think now my dream is to get the freedom first, not only the humanbody freedom, but also the financial freedom, maybe one day I’ll be a philosopher or a traveler, i want to konw everything I don’t konw why.

Freedom!! not in china, haha
