like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

story of a chicken

Chicken? What's so special about it? Nice meat to eat.

No. Not just that. There's something making chicken quite amazing: It is somehow smarter than humans - the so-called most perfect creature. How can it be?

It's a Chinese wise words saying not to wake up late or else, chickens will take your luck.


The quotation used a chicken as its symbol because chickens are hardworking. They wake up before the sun comes up, looking for food, and go home after the sun goes down. They never sleep in the afternoon. They always find something to eat and never suffer hunger. And what makes them smart is: they never commit suicide - nor do they kill other chickens.

What about humans? We're lazy. We wake up late and go home early. We don't wanna work hard we just wanna be relax. All we wanna do is having fun. And, worst, we commit suicide when we are stressed out - or even kill other humans when we are angry.


So.. it is true that chickens are smarter, isn't it? :D
The question is: do we want to be below the animals that we eat everyday?
