Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.


Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

The Japanese have a term, "ikigai" which means something one lives for, the purpose of life, the raison  d'etre.

Below is an ad depicting the purpose of living for a handful of Taiwanese gentlemen. Enjoy.
