What Can We Gain? – 蜗牛角内争何事?

aaa


What Can We Gain?    

What can we gain from within the tiny tentacles of snail?
We should deposit the flaming and flash-like illusion in this shell.   
Always be delighted either in rich or in poverty.
One who does not know laughing out loud is an idiot.
——– Poem by a great ancient poet Bei Ju-Ye (772 – 846) ———-    
 

蜗牛角内争何事?  
石火光中寄此身,   
随富随贫且欢喜,   
不开口笑是痴人。
白居易(772─846年)
