The Snake People Sometimes, ancient Chinese wisdom is really very fascinating. Look at the zodiac signs, there are the pig, snake, dog, etc.
Come to think about it, in some cases, it is related to people's character. Take myself for example, I am under the zodiac sign of Pig. For many years, whether in my working life or leisure activities, I have done lots of 'Pig' jobs. That is, silly and stupid works. Works that sacrificing your own time, own expenses, own brain juice and most importantly, your own youth; and get back all the back stepping, insults and humiliations. It is just as stupid as a Pig!
On the other hand, there are lots of Snake people around us too! These people dress like decent fellows, with tie on, shinning shoes and mounted with a sweet forked tongue. For motive only known to himself, he would praise you better than his own God, polish your shoes as bright as possible and tell you he would be your servant to lick your toes; he just do these for one purpose: To get what he wants! When things developed in the way that not to his desire, these people would flip his face, as if gotten the secret trade from SiChuan: Bian Lian (Face Changing Trick). Immediately, they will coil into its real form: An ugly serpent! Then, started to bite you with no good reason; tarnish you with all the harmful words, abolish all your credits, load you with all the faults, and shoot you down with no mercy; then go to the place of worship and repent! These are the typical characters of Snake People. Friends, have you met people similar to this kind. If not, you are a lucky person, and try not to meet up with one. They only could make your life full of anger. Because these people like to play God in front of the public!
Ah! By few more days, the year of Pig will be arriving. Hopefully, people like me, the Pig people would have a better year ahead.
Please do not look down to Pig people; the Cantonese has a saying: Pretend yourself as a Pig, and you could trap and eat up a tiger slowly. All creatures big or small, they do have their mighty side; only ignorant people do not recognize it.

猪年有感
再过数日,就是猪大哥的年了。匆匆岁月,一榥竟是数十年逝去,实在感到人生苦短。加上近日多人无缘无故地悴死,更加令人觉得人命无常。
迴首过去的岁月,甜酸苦棘皆有。悲喜离合更是家常。或许是这一些际遇,令人感到莫明的孤寂。将一切拥有的,視为短暂,一切失去是一场无法完场的因缘。处世待人,皆淡然处之。有时真能品味到诗人周梦蝶的‘火中取雪‘的心态。
报章上看到时有超过百岁的人,依然活得怡然。而我们一般城市人,能过七十已是古来稀矣。自已今年已达六十矣,能活多久,己不是自已能控制机制。想到下一个猪年,自己已是个垂垂老者矣。遂买了一个猪摆饰回来,放在家中显眼处,时时用它来提醒自己:时日无多,好加珍惜!
春花再美,也有凋零时节。蝴蝶再艳,犹得褪翅成泥。更何况人呢?悲,不是悲时日难畄;悲自己一生没把时日好好利用,活得更有意义和价值!匆匆一生,竟把大半生用做感情的斗兽场。实在是怡笑四方!惭愧!
若有来世,吾必勿做此蒙眼愚汉矣!
