In a Chaotic World, I Focus on Living
Translated from Chinese by Claude. Read the original
I’ve found I have a lot I want to write in my journal. I haven’t been to school in half a year, and a lot of things are stuck inside me. I have no friends in real life. It’s not that I don’t have friends, it’s that they’re all too busy. They’re all high school seniors. Born in China, what freedom is there to speak of? The gaokao has locked them up. So all I do every day is type, type, and type. Or read, or write and doodle…
Life is so beautiful. That’s the line I put in my QQ status in the early hours of the morning.
Every day I scroll through microblogs and read other people’s blogs, living a leisurely, carefree life, haha. A while ago I said I’d write a post about what I’ve learned from building websites, but I’m lazy so I never did. I’ll try to write it this year.
These past few days I’ve been reading the news, getting a sense of global trends, and reading posts from fellow bloggers. What I want to say is: in a chaotic world, I focus on living.
For a long time I’ve had this idea: save up some money and go live a pastoral life someday. There are all kinds of people in this world, and I know what kind of person I am. To live a carefree life, how nice would that be? Murky politics, why should we let them draw lines for us? Let them, the politicians, stir up the muddy water over there! Why care about them? People in capitalist societies care about politics for the sake of social welfare? Then why do we care about politics? For what? Great communism? Oh, I suppose so. In that case, I’ll just stay an independent with no party.
In a chaotic world, why should we complain? Does complaining only end in bloodshed? Let history decide.
Let them play their own games, and I’ll live my life. When war breaks out, it’s just death, right? Heh, no big deal. History gave me my life, and history can end it. I think that’s fair.
Life is beautiful, and living is beautiful too, so why complain? CCAV promotes the CCP, and what does CNN promote? XXX-CCP? Heh, I guess so. What a pair of pointless “people.”
Okay, enough of that.
One last thing: I just focus on my own life.

This ShowBLOG thing never got off the ground, because back then I didn’t know any tech at all, so I had to give up, and that was the end of this simple dream. Maybe one day I’ll get bored and try writing it, but it feels so pointless and silly.
