You are right about 性, 性格, 品性, same goes for 人性, 人格, 人品. At this point i may disapear, i feel the FaceBookImmortals agents are on their way and as a 芻狗 i can only surrender to the Nature's authority. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a reminder to myself to strive to live by this way. So far it eased my heart from a lot of burden, improved my health, clarified my mind, pacified internal conflicts, harmonized my human relationships...all this is very real, so i can say that the principles of dynamic equilibrium applied to individual psychosomatic system and very ordinary daily life activities and interactions have great meaning and value.

Yes, I figured that there was something hidden in the username. Without any explanation, I see 性命雙修 is taken place in your daily life. What a coincidence, Wu Wei helps me to do the same. So far it eased my heart from a lot of burden, improved my health, clarified my mind, pacified internal conflicts, harmonized my human relationships...all this is very real for sure. You've said it all. The mutual resonance on our part 可算得是知己知彼. No wonder the friendly gesture is unavoidable. Edited 11 hours ago by ChiDragon 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
