Drifting Moods

As my therapy for the past eight months is coming to a close, my body's reaction for the last two months of therapy has been very different from the first 6 months. The first 6 months was relatively pain and trouble free but the last two months has plagued with pain from the back, now the ribs and of course not forgetting the stomach gases. Having pain is of course not good, what's more if the pain in lingering all day long.

Ever since I adopted the attitude of just living, that is continue to do what I think is my best chance of survival, I have managed to contain my up and down emotions better. Today I will end with lyrics translated from a song. You can listen at Youtube of Samuel Hui's original Cantonese version of the
Drifters Song:

Its not easy to distinguish with truth and falsehood
Many humans are deceitful at heart
How many of them would share prosperity with you?
To equally share even the waterdrops from the rim of the roof?

(I was) an ignorant frog inside a well
Looking in vain for prestige and fame
Self-conceited and short-sighted
I never expect my elegant house would one day become dilapidated werck

We'll eventually gain whatever as fate would have it
We better not strive too hard for something not destined for us
We'll meet tunders and storms
But we don't have to be scared

Happiest are those who have a fair and clear conscience
And who perform Good deeds whenever possible

We'll eventually gain whatever as fate would have it
We better not strive too hard for something not destined for us

Human beings are like sand in the sea
But we don't have to be scared
You can see the evening glow over the sky
It'll soon disappear like mist; so do fame and fortune
