[quote=LOVEISVERB              ,32314]"past is history, future is mystery, present is a gift, so we call it 'present'" Enjoy here and now. I never had the fantasy of living in the past or the future, perhaps I am not so curious or I am too realistic. I think I was born in the right place at the right time, no complains. *Is this really true or are we just lamenting a part of us having gone with time ? Yup, that is in human's nature, no way for human to grow younger and younger, we never gain time, we always lose it if we are alive. hehehe~~*Is China or for that matter the world, better off today than she was, say 100-200 years or even 1000-2000 ago ? Absolutely, we are better off materially, but we are not necessarily happier than the past generations.*What about women folks - is wearing veil bad ( the Muslims in Middle-east) ? Nah, I hope i could wear a veil if others don't take me as freak here in China. I love it, seriouly, to keep me mysterious, haha~~*Is living without the TV a deprivation ? It depends, some people can't live without a tv set, if you take their tvs away, it is a deprivation. - but why would you do that??:))*Is receiving education & having beter knowledge really good ?Not necessarily. The misuse of knowledge might be fatal or bring unhappiness. * What do we mean by "better off" ?"In a better or more prosperous condition" , in my opinion, the state of being happier than ever in a healthy way emotionally or materially can be said: better off.I give you an example with the phrase in it: "he sighed quite sorrowful, and gazed at the chirping birds that hopped contentedly from branch to branch, "they are much better off than I" joking:))Enjoy the 'present'![/quote]
