If you had to explain...

would you know why you are the way you are? why you are into what you are into?

Once I felt nothing when the plane was in the air and I imagined falling to my death in a crash. The good thing about pain is that it gets tangibly better. It could be replaying the events of the past, in a way.

good and evil

I know that good and evil in a person are not separate things.

Cicero

"Great is the power of Truth it can easily defend itself by its own force."

I used to believe that, and I understand why.

You are fighting

for things that I take for granted.
I don't think it's too much to ask.

When I lie tangled in her hair

Maybe the little man at the desk is having trouble getting used to retirement. Maybe what he needs is a gold watch and an all expenses paid trip to the seaside. Maybe at first when he's there he'll be despondent and restless. But perhaps in a few day's time he'll meet a widow with red hair and they will go to bed together one night. Maybe the next morning when he wakes up with his nose in the back of her neck, he'll be glad that he retired. Maybe he'll even tell her about how he used to work for you, and show her his gold watch. Maybe she'll even be impressed.

When I lie tangled in her hair 
And fetter'd to her eye,
The birds that wanton in the air
Know no such liberty.
'To Althea, from prison'

Oranges

老車不死

自從老闆把它從修車廠開回家之後，車子的心情都非常的明朗。雖然北部天天下雨，想到自己還能繼續工作，就覺得老闆很看重它，不禁得意起來。相較之下，從前很在意的小事情現在也比較不放在心上了。

但是，車子唯一不能克服的是偶爾會需要載同事養的小黑狗，很噁心。狗會把頭靠在冷氣的出風口，東抓西舔，而且還會不時的用冷冷濕濕的鼻子戳車窗。想到停在路邊的時候，野狗常常對著它的車輪撒尿，車子就起雞皮疙瘩。忍耐！我要忍耐！車子好想快到公司，把狗趕出去。好不容易停好的時候，它大大的鬆了一口氣 （因為車子忘記了回程的時候還是需要帶狗回去）。

Welcome back

to my life.
