#YOU #KNOW #TIME IS #FLEETING!

Time is fleeting.

I often recall you, for we were used to swimming in the river, running along the river bank.

The silent river, the silent mountains, the green forest and the hills – and life is fleeting you know!

The crowded city – and everybody wants to be a winner, everybody wants to be a millionaire.

And this city is the city of ego, the city of infinite desires, and, I know, you are happy living on your own, enjoying the beauty of nature.

This competition is leading humanity nowhere.

Why do we want to make our life difficult? Is not peace beautiful? Is not love beautiful? Yet it seems vague, lost amid absurd definition.

The narrow walls, the narrow concepts and people create laws and fall victim and repent forever, and everyone feels the pain of his own existence.

It is hard to live life.

Love seems to be a subject of taboo, and the world is devoid of love, it is leading humanity to a meaningless world.

Yet hope is an antidote, and we go on waiting for something unknowable, walking along the dusty streets, encountering the same crowd, and, you know, we go on searching the meaning of life.

There is the myth of human anxieties and suffering. And it is the vague city where people often talk meaningless things.

Boys and girls love flirtation, and there is uncertainty everywhere.

The old city buses rattle down the road, causing distraction in mind, and man turns out to be a commercial thing as if he is a meaningless passion like what Nietzsche says.

And people go on searching the meaning of life.

Ye the small children run along the streets, singing songs of innocence and humanity.

They make me feel the world they live in, for they play with rainbow and move on.
