James Grissom - Love

“The world is violent and mercurial...it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love...love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.” ~James Grissom, Tennessee Williams/Interview with James Grissom

From ourselves to others we are connected to it
It exists only in the world as an inexhaustible source of energy.
The connection with this world is light.

LI KA-SHING LIFE'S WISDOM


📃📃📃📃📃📃📃


"We are born with nothing, no more and no less, and finally to return to nothing. Be as natural, normal and at ease as possible." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Don’t aspire to acquire surplus wealth at sunset years. Those who have such intention are rather confused or crazy. Just consider what belongs to you before and after death. One has to wake up and stop fooling ourselves." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Be contented. Have fun and enjoy the sunset years. Do not be exalted if you’re rich neither too worried if poor. Take it along as naturally and savor the freedom." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

'Don’t forcibly demand, neither compete. Life is like a dream or a fleeting cloud or smoke. Look at the vast and empty sky and land; we are just a speck drifting within." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"The sun is empty, so is the moon. River water forever flows eastward (in China). Farm and house too are empty, continually changing owners." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Love becomes naught, relationship too disappears. Finally, all will go into the crematorium. Even gold and silver, one does not grasp to take along after death." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Reputation, honours and profits disappear into sweet dreams once the eyes shut down for good. Whatever gains or losses dissipate, life is like a drama." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"No more minister status, no more power that came with it. No one can remain in the ministry for life. Rich or poor, the final is void. That is nothingness when the curtain of life drops, be aware of that." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"The four seasons will rotate, so will the high and low tides. Every family has their own troubles. Do not burden unnecessarily with worries." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Raising and educating children is responsibility and duty. It is a blessing to be able to help. Children and grandchildren shall build their own future, do not be duty-bound by them. It is far more a blessing to take good care of our own wellbeing during the sunset years." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Man hustle and bustle about earning a living like bees collecting honey. Who is the sweetness of honey for, life-long hard work would still end up in naught. Be more liberal and accommodative, think rationally to avoid disputes." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"From a distance, hospitals are like heaven, curing countless patients. Viewing from close range hospitals are like banks, raking in a lot of cash. Getting inside the hospital is like getting into prison, it is far better to take preventive measure well in advance." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Health is an invisible asset, health enhancement is bank saving, contracting a disease is a bank loan and re-payment, serious illness can cause bankruptcy. These are earnest facts of life and to be regarded seriously. Do not let this happen, it will be too late to regret." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"It is better to stand alone to enhance immunity rather than to lie down and be cheated. If you don’t take care of your health, you will be supporting doctors and hospitals. Love the family must start with loving yourself. Loving yourself is thinking ahead." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"A life span is too short. Do not get bogged down with money worries. Tons of cash wouldn’t buy a sun which doesn’t set. Loads of silver and gold can’t exchange for health. Life and death is fated and wealth too. If it has been fated that we will be wealthy, it will be. But if it’s fated otherwise, it is pointless to crave for it." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"A point worth reiterating is that the children and grandchildren will and should carve out the path for their future, there is no need to slog like buffalo and horse for them. A life span is really too short; it is advisable to take life plainly and light-heartedly." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"Fame and gain are just like drifting cloud, extravagance and luxury are momentary exuberance, in rapid glimpses of fleeting time, hair will turn grey to white, churning all past events into smoke and cloud, what for let them linger in the heart, to pester and bugger us deeper into the bull’s horn." ~Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man, "Sunset Ballad".

"You may have recently suffered some form of physical loss: maybe poor health, a flood, fire, sudden lack of employment, or the demise of a relationship. Remember, you cannot lose something you are. Loss is part of life, but the associated pain can be converted into energising your life in positive ways. If there is pain, meditate on it, breathe into it. My darkest lows have time and again evolved to become instrumental in producing my most exhilarating creative highs. It is interesting to me that right now even having lost all we owned in the Brisbane floods in 2011, I can feel the pain of the thousands currently affected yet my historic pain has completely healed.  So, there is always hope." ~Steve Parish, FINDING THE LIGHT, March 3, 2022
