~Chinese Lesson. Life's Lesson.
"REN BU SHI QUE FA AI, ER SHI LIAO JIE."
Pardon my "ang-moh-ish" computer. But for the benefit of those that cannot understand my lousy han yu pin yin, it means that people do not lack love, but rather understanding.
We had chinese lesson today from 3pm to 4.40pm which happens to be my most unproductive hours of the day. It was sweltering hot and humid and we were still stuck in class. However, this lesson happens to be the most enriching lesson this year. My chinese teacher taught us chinese, no doubt about it but also about life and the most scary of things, people.
The issues she discussed and the ideas brought forward dawned on me like the bright sunlight shooting in (direct translation from a chinese phrase). I discovered that we dont hate each other because if we do not care then why would we bother? We did liked each other but the way we expressed it was just different. We are all unable to comprehend our actions and intentions, even our own. We just lacked the ability to understand and be understood.
We discussed the things we had to do while we are young. I asked her why bother to like some body when all that we can keep for life are the experiences of being hurt etc etc. Why not later since those hurtful memories will be kept for a shorter period of time and thus the pain will be shorter too. She said it is because of all these experiences that makes us stronger. And i agree.
