The world is chaotic and upside down The power of water should be harnessed on The flowers and dunes should not get along Until they sing a harmonious song The planet Earth has different parts With different history and backgrounds Let us understand more About each other's culture And stop spreading hatred With communicating better We should seek common ground While reserving differences A sane person might hate war But love peace Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom! Your life should not be sacrificed! We are equal and deserve the right Of living freely and reducing the fight Reference 01: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour --WILLIAM BLAKE Reference 02: 上善若水。水善利萬物而不爭,處衆人之所惡,故幾於道。 居善地,心善淵,與善仁,言善信,正善治,事善能,動善時。 夫唯不爭,故無尤。 —《道德經》底本:《正統道藏》本王弼註道德真經 English: (The placid and contented nature) The highest excellence is like (that of) water. The excellence of water appears in its benefiting all things, and in its occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike. Hence (its way) is near to (that of) the Dao. The excellence of a residence is in (the suitability of) the place; that of the mind is in abysmal stillness; that of associations is in their being with the virtuous; that of words is in their trustworthiness; that of government is in its securing good order; that of (the conduct of) affairs is in its ability; and that of (the initiation of) any movement is in its timeliness. And when (one with the highest excellence) does not wrangle (about his low position), no one finds fault with him. — Dao De Jing English Translation Source: "The Tao Te Ching", James Legge, 1891
