no happier than i :0)
i would say my years from 7 through 10 were progressively more hopeless, and 11-15 was tough, and 16 to now were interesting
before 7 i used to spend the summer inside beijing's summer palace's island in the lake when very few others were allowed on to its shores by land or water.
i share a secret with you, and the world, that, should all other issues be equal, which they never are, exploitation of the many by the few is ok, as long as one is of the few, until the mob forms, in which case best to exit stage left when able, and if not, bummer, better to have sense of humor to run the gauntlet ;0)
it was nice and i remember just about all from age 4 onward.
i spent age 4 in hong kong. family lived with my uncle. cars, pool, boat, and nice food. how can one forget. i also remember, upon returning to mainland at age 5, school teacher asked my parents to stop me from talking about evil capitalist hong kong.
having gone through up, down, down further, flat line, up, up a bit more, i confess i enjoyed it all, and note from experience, up is better than down, in is better than out :0) |
