The World Is Nothing but an Illusion, Part 4 of 4

“It's said that Kong Ming also had a very ugly wife. I remember it was written in the book. However, he loved his wife very much. He was a very clever and handsome man, but he loved his wife. When he came home every day, he listened to his wife talking about simple things and stories and it made him very happy. Very few people can be like Zhuge Liang. So, we humans are not only bound by society and brainwashed by customs, but also distressed by situations. We bind ourselves to many things. We are very fastidious even in eating. We are also fastidious in picking a person. We forget about his inner virtues. Only virtues are permanent. Beautiful looks could vanish with traffic accidents or illnesses.” “We are all monks.
