Hehe, random thoughts
Haha, I slept really well at noon today. I slept past 2:30, so I didn't even take leave during the break and simply didn't go to school for class, spending the afternoon still in bed.\My recent state has been muddled and listless. If this continues, where will I go and what will I become? Time flies, and soon we will realize: another day has passed, yet we are still the same. One day, we will all grow up, but when will that day come?\Life is short. As ordinary people, our lives span just a few decades. I still remember what was said in the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion": 'To die at birth is absurd, to live to extreme old age is vain.' Don't foolishly hope for immortality, nor for a long life of a hundred years. Seizing the present is the right choice. Once, we thought we could take control of our lives, until one day we suddenly realized: perhaps we have been wrong all along. In truth, we have only been passively choosing our own paths. We always follow the routes already planned, and the harshness and ruthlessness of life prevents us from always pursuing the paths we truly wish to take. People always think they have escaped the control of fate, but they do not realize they are still following the tracks arranged by destiny. What is meant to happen, happens; what is not meant to happen, never happens. There is only a brief, laughable episode in between.\Haha, in the past, people always clamored to conquer nature, to master it. But the fact is that people are constantly threatened by natural disasters and then forced to leave their homes, embarking on journeys of exile to foreign lands. That is human nature: only after enduring great suffering do people understand how small they are in the face of nature.\'Go with nature'—four simple words, yet many people only realize their meaning after experiencing many hardships and losing so much. The reason is merely that they did not give themselves a proper sense of position; they are always self-righteous, always thinking they are different from others. However, time will eventually smooth out their sharp edges.At first, we had some lofty ideals. Although they were so out of reach, we still confidently believed that these ideals could definitely be realized. Slowly, as we grew up, our ideals gradually lowered. Ha, we grandly call it merely setting a goal that matches our current situation. That's right, we are indeed setting a goal that matches reality, but the steps toward this goal are getting shorter and shorter. In the end, we just hope we can live like ordinary people, and that would be a blessing. I don't want to say much, I just feel that if things continue like this, will we even be less than ordinary people, let alone achieve those once lofty ideals? This is just like asking an ant to eliminate hegemonism. How likely do you think it is to succeed?

The most precious thing for a person is life. Life belongs to a person only once. A person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on the past, he does not regret wasting his years, nor should he feel ashamed of being idle and unproductive. Either you stop being idle and unproductive, or if you remain idle and unproductive, then do not regret it.
A scholar being able to write a post like this can't be called muddle-headed, right? (Entered the special section, thanks for posting it in the chat and casual chat area)
