Don't covet the moon in the sky,

Don't covet the moon in the sky,

    I still remember one zen language "Don't covet the moon in the sky,

    and forget the light in your house."

    But nowdays people always don't feel satisfied about what they have,

    their eyes always look at the distance.

    I read a poem from Ming Dynasty as follows:

    We are busy whole day just for food,

    Just got the food then thinking of buying beautiful clothes .

    Just put on nice clothes then thinking of buying a better house.

    Just built a nice house then thinking of pursuing a pretty lady .

    Just got many pretty ladies as wife and concubines then thinking of riding horses when they want to go out.

    Just bought many swift horses then thinking of having retinues.

    Just hired dozens of servants then thinking of be rich and powerful.

    Just bought an official position then thinking of climbing higher position,

    Just climbed a higher position then thinking of replacing the emperor.

    Just be an emperor then thinking how to be the immortal,

    Just be a immortal then thinking where is the top of the sky,

    the death appeared but he didn't finish making the latter for climbing the sky ,

    If the death was not coming yet,he was still thinking  that the top of the sky is not really top.

    I appreciated that I can be an office staff because of my boss. Before in the factory I only have one day rest once a week. I can’t go anywhere sometimes because I always feel tired after work.

    Especially now I always have long holiday like a government staff. I deeply knew that not everyone has legal holiday. I feel so happy. So I can go anywhere if I want , because I have enough time except more money. 

    Sometimes I also want to travel all over the world like the rich people. But I have to stop the crazy thinking. The only thing I am concerning is my family, I need to feed baby and support my family.

    In Shanghai, there are so many rich people, they can go anywhere if they want.  As someone said I don’t need to go anywhere, I just open my wechat moment,  It’s same as traveling to Taiwan,yunnan,sanya,xiamen,zhangjiajie, even overseas’ view.

    If you just stay at home that you even don’t have topics to talk with others. Since most of them went out for traveling on holiday.

    We just  imitated others that we went to the park this holiday.

    The name of the park is Chenshan Botanical Garden. It’s such a beautiful and big garden that I never went there before.

    Several days ago my wife wanted to go to Harbing. I replied it’s so far and we need to prepare earlier. Then we canceled the trip.

    But when we arrived at the botanical garden, she changed her mind. After all we have new baby ,we should plan earlier if we want to go farther place. The key point is that we need to save for her. Then both of us felt happy because of nice view there.

    I wrote a poem to praise the spring:

    The flowers know that spring will leave soon,

    so they dotted with spring open competition.

    I prefer to read books and drink wine every day,

    so I will not refuse to be a chenshan local people.
