What is Not
October 14, 2010I was told:
“Consider a cup. It’s strange that what makes it really useful as a cup is not the cup itself or the material it is made of but the empty space within it. Consider a house. It’s strange that it is the empty space enclosed by the brick or wooden structure that people actually live in.”
This shows that “What is present is necessary; what is not is essential.”
Not just the flesh, but the spirit.
Not just the body, but the soul.
Not only the maths and sciences, but the arts and literature.
Not only without, but within.
Not just what can be seen, but what cannot.
Not just what is spoken, but what is not.
Not just what is present, but what is not.
True!!!
What is inside is the most important. But appearance is the deciding factor. We can’t denied. We always see the most outer layer first. Often we will not realize the inner layer until we get to know it further. Always the outer layer misleading us.
AHHHHHHHHHHH (Y)
GOOD ONE ELVIN!! :D

XOXO,

Beauty gets the attention
Personality gets the heart
Its what on the inside that counts.
A genuine heart is priceless.
People tends to overlook the inner parts of a building or object or even a person.
Maybe cos of the beautiful outer part that have taken the main attraction and thus inner parts become not important anymore.
However, all these are too superficial. Inner is the most important.
A beautiful outer doesn’t means it have a beautiful inner too.
But,
An ugly outer also doesn’t mean it have an ugly inner too.
Talking about souls, I hope you find your soulmate soon~ =)
Ohh~~the smile song is back~
Oh ya.. Jesseca Liu went back to acting. I saw the news at xinmsn. Maybe you were the first to know. hahaha.
人类常常被虚假的外在所迷惑，我承认我也有时是受害者! 如今被磨练之后，才真正的体会到很多东西中看不中用噢! :P
我不否认，第一影响很重要，但久而久之，接触多了就能了解没有亮丽迷人的外表，只有平凡的外表但温柔体贴又非常细心的性格其实才是最美的。=D
在美的外表，缺乏了内涵，其实也是个空的壳！=P
your liangyi captured my heart since 2005 lol lol xoxo
What is not doesn’t matter to me, what matters most is what we should cherish. Many people focus on the wrong goal and end up living in regrets. We mustn’t fall into the same trap. We may not be able to change the world, but if we hold our passion (near to our hearts), that’s what will make the difference.
