The World Mirrors Like A Calm River

My good friend,

I can't keep sugar-coating this anymore:

You are the world,

And the world is you,

If you deceive the world,

You deceive yourself,

Your world is you,

And you are your world.

The whole world mirrors like a calm river.

Fear and Dislike

It has always been,

A mystery to me,

How men can feel themselves pompous,

Because others fear them.

For if people fear you,

They will not like you.

If they like you,

They will not fear you.

Respect is the mid-point between fear and like.

From where comes the rainbow?

I want to know.

Always bright and new but from ancient.

So high above the streams and so low below the falls.

I want to know,

From where comes the rainbow.

If you get bad job and bad wife,

You will be miserable.

If you get nothing - like myself,

You will become a wanderer,

- Which is a good thing,

Because you get to know more.
